Create a customer or partner portal user without an associated contact record

Is there any way to create a customer or partner portal user without an associated contact record either through setup or via the API?

 

From what I can see the only way to do it is via the contacts record.

You can create portal users via the API simply by creating a User record with the correct license (a portal license, naturally), but you must specify a contact ID.  All portal users must be associated with a contact record.
