This article may be of use, although it still requires .NET framework and some other dependencies (but I don't think you'll ever get away without using them):

No these are your options. You can start the emulator without VS, and you can deploy apps to it via a command line tool, but you don't get any of these without installing the WP SDK for VS2012. But since this is all free, is that a big deal?

You could submit your app to the store as a beta, and have invited users test your app on their phones.
