Yes you can include just the tools.jar from the JSDK with your JRE.
At least that is what I do, and it works.
This is from the JRE Readme.txt:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Redistribution of Java 2 SDK Files
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The limited set of files from the SDK listed below may be included in
vendor redistributions of the Java 2 Runtime Environment. All paths
are relative to the top-level directory of the SDK.
- The javac bytecode compiler, consisting of the following files:
bin/javac [Solaris(TM) Operating Environment
and Linux]
bin/sparcv9/javac [Solaris Operating Environment
(SPARC(TM) Platform Edition)]
bin/javac.exe [Microsoft Windows]
lib/tools.jar [All platforms]
