no, just do the following:
mkdir t
mount -o loop initrd.img t
cp -a t t.new
(do anything you want to t.new)
mkcramfs t.new initrd.img.new
done!
mkcramfs should be included with your distro, if it isn't, it will be in
your kernel source tree, so just install your kernel-source rpm and find it
in there.

There is no silver bullet. Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
