I'm afraid Morphix is made primarily for its modularity, it's not a get-it-as-small-as-you-can design (although the base module was, and I'm doing my best to keep LightGUI below the 210mb mark for minicd's).
Having said that, it would be possible, just not practical to get a morphix-derivative below 50mb. DSL compromises things like alsa for space, you could throw out more stuff from the base module to get it as small as possible, and try to add XFree-vesa/fb directly to it. XFCE4 is pretty large when compared to flux, too, so I seriously doubt it would fit. Then again, it's not impossible<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:)
Bottomline: You'd have to ditch the modularity for space
