I know iTunes and XFree86 (the opensource X11) would run this way.
I haven't done this since 10.2 came out (they fixed Aqua so X11 ran at a decent speed) so I have no idea if it works any more or not. If it does though and the Apps you want to use will run, that would strip a lot of overhead out for you.
Not sure that you would want to do this though as you could only have one App running at a time and you'd need some way to launch them since typing while driving isn't the best idea
