Apache docs say:
"*Notice:* If your webserver's URLs are *not* directly related to
physical file paths, you have to use |RewriteBase| in every |.htaccess|
files where you want to use |RewriteRule| directives."
So probably not. I don't use .htaccess files that much myself. But
I've run into similar annoying issues in apache.conf files too.

You probably could if you get real tricky with the regex code - but I would
say probably not. rewrite takes the entire url into consideration - so you
need to denote where to start with the rewrite base.
I use this for vufind:
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/(.+)$ index.php?module=$1&action=$2 [L,QSA]
Which allows you to map:
vufind.library.edu/Search/Results
to:
vufind.library.edu/index.php?module=Search&action=Results
So with that - you could capture all of the "directories" in the URL and
just remove anything that doesn't look familiar. But that is very hackish
since it could easily break and make it very difficult for someone to debug.

is it possible to write this without hardwiring the RewriteBase in it?
So
that it can be used, for instance, in an .htaccess file from within any
/path?
Yes, you can put it into a .htaccess file, and the URL rewrite will
apply on that directory only.
You misunderstood the question; let me rephrase it:
Can I write a .htaccess file without specifying the path where the script
will be located in RewriteBase?
For instance, consider
http://code.google.com/p/tictoclookup/source/browse/trunk/standalone/.htaccess
Here, anybody who wishes to use this code has to adapt the .htaccess file
to
their path and change the "RewriteBase" entry.
Is it possible to write a .htaccess file that works *no matter* where it is
located, entirely based on where it is located relative to the Apache root
or an Apache directory?
