I have no idea, but...

Or are there some already pre-calculated masks/bounding boxes or
polygons for the DRGs and BSBs popular sheets on the net?

I haven't looked closely, but from a quick glance, it looks like the GRPs in the NOAA bsb charts may define the bounding box of the charts -- it's worth looking at.

If you're lucky, the color used for the collar may not be used in the charts anywhere but I haven't looked at that.

It would be nice to present some stitched maps and remove the borders
in the examples of rendering capabilities of GDAL2Tiles at
http://examples.maptiler.org/.

well, these folks have done it -- I don't know how, or if they are willing to share what they did, but it's pretty nice:
