Yes it is, at least for now. Shift + f10 to open cmd in the OOBE, then "OOBE \BYPASSNRO"
I quickly tried, but I gave up as I just needed the install done. It didn't occur to me to pull the network cable as that may have worked. If I remember what I was reading at the time correctly, it will take a bit for the option to show to do an offline install if you don't have a network connection. (I could be completely wrong on that! It's been a couple of months already.)
You can get the Windows 11 ISO and mount/image a drive with it using Rufus which will let you disable telemetry and build a local account into the image IIRC
Hell you can even make a “mobile” windows install and have windows on an external drive with Rufus
