No - either way, libgeda or gschem loads and boots guile - which is the most time consuming part of the gschem startup time. (Judging by valgrind output). There is one other possibility - not sure its a good idea or not - but you could write a simple (dumb) .sch / .sym parser and renderer. I think Peter B might have some python code along these lines, but I can't remember its status.
