Yes and no.

What works on a local system:

mkisofs -udf ... master/ -o KNOPPIX-DVD.iso

mount -o loop KNOPPIX-DVD.iso

I think its just a matter of putting udf.o in the miniroot and changing the 
iso9660 to udf in the linuxrc ... (or something like that)

And as you will have made a new miniroot anyway (else the DVD would not boot 
due to inode issues) I think it should be quite straightforward to change 
that ...

I wanted to try that once, but forgot ...

Hope that helps.
