Yes, it is possible to do this, and has already been done in PortableApps
Format. [1] It will be released officially by PortableApps.com as soon as
1.4 is released by the Scribus team. Ghostscript is also available in
PortableApps Format in case it is needed as well. [2] Both work smoothest if
installed in the PortableApps Platform [3], but it isn't neccessary. All
that's needed is that the Scribus package and the Ghostscript package are
side-by-side.
