You actually could do it, but it's very involved and error prone, at
least... you just add components with the 'Add module' tool, then you
have two options:

- Lay the tracks without drc enabled (using pcbnew as a simple drawing
   program)

or

- Enter each module with 'Edit module' and assign the nets by hand to
   each pin (you gain ratnests and DRC, but it's painful)

Considering that the netlist export is essentially a one-click operation
and that somehow you need a schematic it's obviously better (and faster)
to draw it with eeschema first.
