Sort of.  many terminfo entries have dependencies on other entries, so 
it's not that simple.  for a bare-bones terminfo database, take a look here:

http;//www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/cygwin.terminfo-5.2-5

and run tic on it.  It'll create a minimal set of entries (including 
cygwin) that takes only a few K.
