Actually a neat idea. Copy mkinitcpio.conf to mkinitcpio-pacman.conf,
add this in mkinitcpio-pacman.conf:

BINARIES="pacman"
FILES="/etc/pacman.conf /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist"

Then, edit /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset:

Add:

pacman_config="/etc/mkinitcpio-pacman.conf"
pacman_image="/boot/initramfs-linux-pacman.img"

and add 'pacman' to the PRESETS line.
