I've been told by cjwatson that, provided the custom kernel doesn't
change the ABI (Application Binary Interface), it is okay to simply
replace the kernel images in the live-CD ISO images.

I use exploded live-CD images here for PXE/netboot testing anyway so
I'll build a 32-bit kernel and try it. If that works I'll make an ISO
available for you to download.

It would be easier if the system had Ubuntu installed (even if on USB
device) because you'd just need to replace the kernel image - about
3.5MB - as opposed to an entire CD (700MB).
