VMWare can do this. You tell it to use an iso file as a CD drive and it will boot from that image into a fully operable Knoppix system. VMWare costs $$$$ though.

Do you have another Linux box somewhere on a LAN?
If so then you could mount the file (using loopback support) on that box and export it as NFS (the linux filesharing protocol filesystem).
Then recompile the KNOPPIX kernel to support NFS root_fs boots, which basically allows you to mount the root '/' filesystem from a NFS share. Point this mount to the NFS share location.
Now re-write this new kernel and boot options to the files on a boot floppy which you will need to make from the boot images on the CD (in /KNOPPIX/)
Boot from the floppy and try booting.
This may / maynot work, but would be interesting to see if it does.
