unlikely.
you could try to connect your smtp-server with fsockopen http://de.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php and then send emails via the smtp-protocoll (which isn't very complicated). But I guess if you sever has disallowed mail() it also has restricted fsockopen().
In worst-case you have to find yourself a new server.
