No, you can't convert a lead without creating an account or attaching to an existing account. Many clients that have this need opt for Person Accounts, or, if they do not use that feature, have a dummy account that all "non-account contacts" are assigned to. Not assigning a contact to an account has a negative effect on sharing permissions.
