If in some way you can create an image (= a chrootable filesystem) systemimager is able to install it. You can use systeminstaller even if I don't know if recent distributions are correctly supported, otherwise most any distribution has its own tool to install into a directory (SuSE has YaST, Debian has debotstrap, RedHat yum, etc...).
If your image is the whole HD (or a partition) simply mount the disk on your image server in /var/lib/systemimager/<your_image> (native or exported via NFS for example).
