Unless z/OS specifically provides support to do that, no. It takes coding changes to support boot from DVD (it's not an IPL operation). Creating a DVD that the HMC will understand and load isn't hard (look at the root directory of the Linux DVD), but getting it to work after it's been loaded is up to the code itself.
