We did something similar with Kinneret, but for the home directory only. The idea can be implemented for other directories as well...
We created an empty file on the user's windows partition in a known location (C:\kinneret\kinneret.img or some other drive), loopback it using losetup and created an ext2fs on that file, which then carried all the knoppix home directory. At each boot, we had a small script that looked for that file in every available partition, and mounted it to /home/knoppix. I don't know if newer version of knoppix support things like that out-of-the-box. We had to remaster it in order to add our small script. I assume that if you run that script early in the boot process, you can do the same thing for /etc /usr /whatever...
