UnionFS can.
The rpm package in http://gsd.di.uminho.pt/old/luciano/unionfs.src.rpm
includes a rc.d script for mounting and mounting unionfs defined in
/etc/unionfstab on startup.


SquashFS can also.

The package in http://gsd.di.uminho.pt/old/luciano/squashfs2.2r2-mod.tar.gz
includes only the driver sources, slightly changed for compilation as a
module:
* #include <linux/squash...> -> #include "squash..."
* #define CONFIG_SQUASHFS_FRAGMENT_CACHE_SIZE 3 (the default)
* no patching of do_mounts, so no initrd support

Compilation:
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=$PWD modules
