It is possible, but not easy.  The best way I can think of would be to 
actually do this to see what entries are created.  E.g. setup a new ds 
instance using setup and register it with your configuration ds.  Take a 
db2ldif dump of o=netscaperoot on your configuration ds before and 
after, and compare.  Also compare the dse.ldif from the new console 
instance with the instance that is not in the console.
