Probably, it's pretty small. But why limit yourself to a boot floppy - use a CD. GPartD is on the system rescue CD (http://www.sysresccd.org/).

Clarification: GParted is a GUI app - it needs a frame buffer at a minimum, so it's probably pretty large.
GNU Parted is the corresponding command line util - it's fairly small.
Both make use of the parted library, which is where all the partitioning functionality is.
