Not really.  Caret (and SureFit, from which the segmentation stuff came) just 
wasn't designed to segment the skull.  You can toggle on keep intermediate 
files and look at the various intermediate volumes to see if you can use one of 
them as a starting point, but I don't think any of them will work without 
substantial processing.

There will be many intermediate volumes, so to help narrow your focus, the ones 
listed at the tail end of SegmentCerebralWhiteMatter are your best bets:

I would think something like FSL's bet would be a better bet:

It also seems like something in Brian Avants' orbit, but I don't see it here:

Above all, don't extract the skull by banging your head on your desk.
