I guess you could, theoretically, while I've never personally tried but:
BossHog.local:~# aptitude show fuseiso

Description: FUSE module to mount ISO filesystem images. This package 
provides a module to mount ISO filesystem images using FUSE. With FUSE 
it is possible to implement a fully functional filesystem in a userspace 
program.

I snipped some useless information that you can just aptitude yourself 
but you can try it and let us know how it works out. If it works good, I 
would personally love to know so I check it out further.
