Well, you could use the serial ISP to bootstrap the programming routines 
into RAM.  That's how some serial ISPs work even for internal flash.  The 
ST10 as an example loads something like 16 bytes from the serial port to a 
fixed memory location and then jumps to it.  The serial ISP process is a 
set of step loading larger programs into RAM until you have one that can 
handle the flash programming.  It's a lot more straightforward than I just 
made it sound.
