I needed to reword this a little.
First, without the SCCM client installed on the computers, you pretty much won't be able to leverage SCCM to determine what machines have the registry value that you mentioned, nor will you be able to do much of anything else because the agents within the client software are required for most of the actions that can be peformed.
Can you not use any of the typical installation methods to get the client on the computers?
Manual installation is obviously out of the question, but if you can't use any of the other methods outlined here, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb694166.aspx, then you'll find things rather difficult. And in that case, the only other option that I can think of is running a script (under an admin's credentials), but if you're going to go that route, you might as well code it to install the client for you (in addition to adding that registry entry).
The script would need to locate the systems by querying AD or the SMS database, and would need logic to determine things like 1) is the computer on the network and accessible, 2) is the client already installed, 3) does the registry entry that you mentioned already exist...you get the idea.
