Yes

You could try to turn off the 'active: True' flag in base and
base_setup, and provide you own 'base' module(s). However that's quite
unlikely to work out-of-the-box, and you'll be in uncharted territory.
The 'base' module *is* part of the OpenERP framework, even though it is
packaged as a module. 'base_setup' is entirely optional, though.
