It depends on what you are trying to do exactly, but you can run 'puppet' stand alone without the master.
The only thing that gets tricky is if you have interhost configurations that you want to manage. You can also use the master as a file server for the stand alone puppet executable. If you can explain a little bit more about what you are trying to accomplish and your constraints, you'll hopefully get a better answer.
