No.  In fact, it's not clear what good the Django admin would be without a database to use.  The admin works on your Model classes, so it needs a database, and the database tables that correspond to the Model objects, already created.

Not to mention the fact that you need a database to hold the user records for authentication purposes, without which it would be impossible to log into the admin interface.
