I doubt it.  pkg(8) doesn't have the capability to install a package
without updating the package database.  Plus why would you even want to
do that nowadays?  As I recall NO_PKG_REGISTER was a work-around for not
having staging or tools like poudriere where you can build a package
without scribbling on your live system.
