In short: It's not worth trying.
Agreed. I consider this impossible without a lot of time and intimite knowledge of the various problems that will occur. Actually, the only way I can imagine is booting a recent image and upgrading from there.
Better: Tell us why the most recent ISO wont work for you. Afaik you can even install arch with just 64MB of RAM; even though such a system wont be of much use these days.
I just booted the 2011.08.19 i686 image using qemu with 256MB RAM. I have 229MB of free memory after booting. You might get into trouble running pacman though, it might run out of memory during the operation - I didn't try.
