No. Technically, you have to be able to start:

cscript ... wpkg.js /flags

preferably, at system start.

Without Active Directory, you can easily do it with our WPKG Installer, 
or even with a Task Scheduler.

As for packages, they have to be placed somewhere - it can be a local 
machine, a remote server etc.

Yes.

"cscript ... wpkg.js ..." doesn't open or use any ports.

However, if your paths are on a remote server, accessible via Network 
Neighbourhood (like \\server\share) - Network Neighbourhood uses ports:

Port Number Traffic Type
445 Microsoft-DS
135 DCE endpoint resolution
136
137 NETBIOS Name Service
138 NETBIOS Datagram Service
139 NETBIOS session service
