If you mean "can I have a container running without a kernel package
installed INSIDE the container filesystem", then yes. IIRC the ubuntu
template does exactly that.

In fact, containers installed using the busybox template pretty much
only have the busybox binary (plus supporting files and directories),
at only 2MB or so in size. No kernel or other libraries needed to run
a shell.
