I can't say i completely agree with your reasons (popularity != vulnerability), but i do think antivirus is useful in Linux....particularly if you are on a network with Windows machines, or share files with Windows users. Even though Windows virii don't affect Linux computers, the infected files can still be passed on.
EDIT: holy crap....i didn't notice this was a very old thread.... I just replied to a post from months ago

Sure. Probably the simplest way would be to create an extension and add it to the root of your CD. You could also remaster the system if you're up to it, and recreate the ISO (search these forums for various threads on the subject)
