Yep, the same way you get a Kubuntu without multimedia codecs without a network.

I'm open to suggestions on how to make it super easy for users to
install another browser post-install. Especially since users migrating
from Windows/OS X have no concept of 'packages' and even installing
something like firefox can be daunting task. Personally, I'd expect
them to go to firefox.com and download the sources instead of
downloading the binary packages since that's what they're accustomed
to.

True. As always there are tradeoffs to be made here. But if you have a
look around, people seem to be comfortable with dragon as their video
player as compared to rekonq as their default browser ( just an
example ).
