I do not know whether it is feasible for DragonFly BSD or not , but there
is  "AnyBoot" images published , for example ( where Haiku is a MIT
licensed distribution ) :

https://www.haiku-os.org/get-haiku


If such a format is usable , work performed for distribution image
preparation may be reduced to half .
I do not know why Haiku OS is still supplying .iso and .VM images .


Thank you very much .
