I don't think this functionality is there out of the box. It might be easily implemented with interactive markers as a small node providing a 6DoF marker that directly controls a tf transform. This seems like an obvious little tool, so maybe you are in luck and someone has hacked together such a utility already.

Edit: Another idea would be hijacking the joint_state_publisher [1] GUI by writing a small URDF file with a joint between your cameras (possible a floating joint, but I dont know how the joint_state_publisher GUI handles these. Use this in combination with robot_state_publisher to get the /tf transforms.
