I don't see this as any different than pushing a script to the system to do the initial deployment or running a script that makes ssh connections to it. There's no need for a static binary. In the early days, before it was part of our base config, we used to push puppet to machines that didn't have it using a puppet-deploy script which would connect to a named host via ssh and use the package manager to install puppet, set a couple of initial things and fire it up. If you run your version of this type of tool from your puppet master, you can even make it automate the signing step for you.
