Justin is right, there's no guarantee the referrer will be set. What you can do however is have a common pre-registration page you link to from everywhere on the site - and set some variable there to acknowledge they came from the site - and give "members" the direct address to the registration page.
What I wonder is how could a non-referred user be confused with a referred one - doesn't the referred one have some kind of variable in the URL which identifies the referer (i.e. isn't each referer being given a customized URL to pass to his/her referees?!).
