Yes.  ImageMagick will convert an optimized GIF to optimized MNG.
It uses DEFI to offset the (smaller) subsequent frames, and
IHDR to set the dimensions.

See the ie*.mng demos at
ftp://swrinde.nde.swri.edu/pub/mng/images/ in which all images
after the first are 25x25 and overlay an area near the right edge
of the frame.
