Yes, like follows after dd'ing the image:

root at foo% mount -t msdos /dev/ad3s1 /mnt
root at foo% cp /config/juniper.conf /mnt/
root at foo% umount /mnt

If you use compressed configs, you may need to uncompress it (we have 
only used this procedure with uncompressed config.

The annoying thing about PCMCIA re-installs is that you have to have 
serial console access to answer "yes" to those pesky questions.  It 
should be possible to override that.  But I guess that is a good 
safety measure..
