You can easily do that. First you set up the hugin project to your
liking, then you don't stitch the images together but ask hugin to
only output the remapped images. Once you have the remapped images,
you can call enfuse manually.

Why do you have to do it that way? If the images don't overlap
sufficiently, hugin doesn't call enfuse on them as a group when the
fused panorama output is selected, because it doesn't realize that
they are actually meant as a stack. Even if you select images to be
part of a stack, it stubbornly refuses to enfuse them if they don't
overlap sufficiently. Instead it call enfuse for every single of them
(which could be omitted - I think it should require very little
programming effort to notice that enfuse is about to be called with a
single image, and the call could then be omitted entirely - but this
is how things are currently) - and then stitches together these
'stacks' consisting of one image each with enblend. The result is a
'patchwork' look and not the 'stack of transparent layers' you
anticipated. But the warped images will be shaped just so that they
can be blended manually with enfuse without any further ado. Enfuse
itself will fuse whatever it's given. The warped images may not look
as if they can be just put 'on top' of each other - but don't be
fooled: nona, which has produced the warped images, may have saved
them as 'cropped images', conserving the place in the grater context
of the panorama where the partial images are to be put.

So, again, in a nutshell:
find/set CPs in hugin
choose to output individual remapped images
enblend them 'manually'
