No "automatic way" but I have seen where they add "dummy" lines to a hunt group and have the copper pair terminate at the CO without going to the customer premises... Then you could program that line. Can't recall the exact reason why this was done though. In speaking to them, you need to say you want to add a PSTN to the hunt group.
I've never seen a Bell analog hunt group that wasn't Centrex, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
