Yes, it is possible.  Create an xml file similar to what follows and
build it with a command like:

C:\> msbuild thefilename


<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003";>

    <ItemGroup>
        <BootstrapperPackage Include="Microsoft.Net.Framework.2.0">
            <Visible>True</Visible>
            <ProductName>.NET Framework 2.0</ProductName>
            <Install>True</Install>
        </BootstrapperPackage>

        <BootstrapperPackage Include="Microsoft.Windows.Installer.3.1">
            <Visible>True</Visible>
            <ProductName>Windows Installer 3.1</ProductName>
            <Install>True</Install>
        </BootstrapperPackage>
    </ItemGroup>

    <Target Name="PackageDE">
        <MakeDir
            Directories="DevelopersEdition" />
        <GenerateBootstrapper
            ApplicationName="JAMS Developers Edition"
            BootstrapperItems="@(BootstrapperPackage)"
            OutputPath="DevelopersEdition\" 
            SupportUrl="http://www.mvpsi.com/Support.html"; />
        <Copy
            SourceFiles="setup.exe"
            DestinationFolder="DevelopersEdition" />
        <Copy
            SourceFiles="YourPackage.msi"
            DestinationFolder="DevelopersEdition" />
    </Target>

</Project>
