You might have a look at statlive.org. In particular,  I use invocation
directory to set paths for everything else:

;;Set drive letter or mount point, making the software relocatable.
(setq ipoide-root (substring invocation-directory 0 (- (string-match "Emacs" 
invocation-directory) 1)))


See the files at the end of the page on assembling the portable system:
http://statlive.org/software/livedvd/assembling.html

The project is going through a major upgrade and the goals include trying 
to script the assembly process for the portable environment and organizing 
the project so others can contribute to development.
