Kali Linux, the succesor to Backtrack offers a mini version of the distribution that is only 400MB. Alternatively, just build the package on any lightweight linux distributions like Arch Linux.

Do note that I have encountered many issues with configuring OpenVAS in the past, to the points where I simply gave up. I recommend Nessus or Nexpose instead if being closed source isn't an issue for you. Both products offer a "free" edition that might be suitable for you.
