Hmmm... actually you only need the transaction hashes and the first transaction to recompute the Merkle Root. Assuming no more than 1024 transaction/block (recorded peak is 943), then that'd be only 32K of RAM + 50-150 bytes for the first transaction (payback to the miner). This can be future reduced with precomputed values for the other branches reducing the computation and storage to log21024. ~ 320 bytes + 50-150 bytes.

So yes Dave, you could. Too bad you will not be alive to see the results.
