As far as I can tell, no. I've just tried the two Live CDs [1] I've got 
in my drawer and neither of them ships with wxPython and therefore won't 
run PythonCard. I suspect that the size of wxPython (and wxWidgets) 
doesn't lend itself to packaging on a general purpose Live CD.

If you're feeling brave then it may be possible to build your own Live 
CD using morphix [2]. The web site says that they offer a reasonably 
simple way of customising the contents of a Live CD from the Debian 
package repository (which has all of the necessary bits and pieces to 
run PythonCard).
