Is there a way to create a component that installs device drivers on NT/2000. I only see components that install NT services.

I think you will probably need to write a custom action.
The documentation for the ServiceInstall table particularly forbids SERVICE_KERNEL_DRIVER and SERVICE_FILE_SYSTEM_DRIVER service types. Of course if your driver doesn't require these types then there is nothing to stop you using the service install functions of windows installer to install and remove a driver.
