Indeed. It's not even hard. All you need is a small script that does 
something like this:

"Unload old Monticello"
(PackageInfo named: 'Monticello') classes do:[:cls| cls removeFromSystem].

"Install new version"
((ZipArchive new readFrom:
	(HTTPSocket httpGet: 
'http://www.squeaksource.com/mc/Monticello-<yourversionhere>.mcz'))
	memberNamed: 'snapshot/source.st') contentStream fileIn.

This can be easily fudged into a little script  that the old MC version 
receives, processes asynchronously, and as a result replaces itself by a 
newer version.

Cheers,
