The msp430l092 has a boot loader that can be used to download code from an SPI flash device. Dunno if you saw that. Take a look at page 187 of http://focus.ti.com/lit/ug/slau321/slau321.pdf for an example setup.
You would have to put your compiled code into the container format specified and download it into the flash via some other means. I have not personally tinkered with the 'L092, but I believe both msp430-jtag and mspdebug can write to ram -- just not necessarily with the same commands used to write flash.
