If you don't want to use Google Apps, you could serve redirects to your appspot address from another HTTP server somewhere. You cannot do this with DNS settings alone without Google Apps; the server needs to know which application to serve for a given request URL, and if the domain isn't a Google Apps domain, you can't configure this. Note that if you use redirects, the user will not see your domain name when visiting your app; once they're redirected they'll be viewing at an appspot.com address.

Are you aware that there's a free level of Google Apps service, that you could set up only to serve App Engine apps?
