I started some work on doing that with Pharo4 (put a place with baselines I could use to load the HEAD of the Pharo main repository and load the right packages), but Pharo5 changed the way external projects are included, and my approach wasn't good anymore. I think the overall Pharo organisation could benefit from such an effort; it would exercise all the planned mechanisms for the modular image, in maybe an easier way than a modular full image, and with someone motivated to debug and maintain the process: you!
