It can be. Depends on how much initialization you are willing to do in 
OpenFirmware and how much support for Windows you have to provide. In 
the case of OneLaptop, the whole point of using OpenFirmware was to be 
able to fit in a much smaller prom, so the hard work was done to 
intialize the system in OpenFirmware.
