Found this while searching for a similar thing, thought I'd provide a 2023 update.

As part of the HTML5 W3C spec, you can place a <noscript> tag within the <head>.

"In a head element of an HTML document, if there are no ancestor noscript elements."

You are as long as you do it in HTML documents and not XHTML.

In a head element [...], the noscript element must contain only link, style, and meta elements.

See specification.

Using the HTML5 Doctype, I have a declaration in my <head> with a <link> element that points to a no-js.css stylesheet. It validates and seems to work fine.

According to the XHTML Strict DTD, no, you're allowed script, style, meta, link, object, title and base only. Transitional allows isindex as well, but still not noscript.
