Yes. You need root permissions to override mount policy to allow running of
executables from removable storage devices. In recent distros, this is
handled by HAL sub-system. If your system has pmount utility, you can use
its '-e' option:
pmount -Ae /dev/blahblah label

I used the Etoys distribution. It comes with binaries for Lin/Mac/Win OSes.
Then I put a KDE launcher file (you may have to change LABEL to suit your
needs):
-------- etoys.desktop
Name=EToys
Path=/media/LABEL
Icon=/media/LABEL/etoys/icons/squeak.png
Type=Application
Exec=sh etoys/etoys.sh
--------
