Mark,

I can get access to the web interface and the underlying OS.  What happens when 
you move/rename the directory?

I guess if we disabled the list, we don't want mail to the list to start 
bouncing, we just want mail to not be sent even with moderation - until the 
list was re-enabled.  I guess a 'disabling' of the list would be like cutting 
out any mistakes until investigations are completed on errors or training is 
allowed for.

It depends on what access you have and what you want to happen when
mail is sent to the list.

If your MTA uses aliases, you could remove or redirect the list's
aliases.

You could move the lists/LISTNAME directory somewhere else.

If you are the list owner without access to the underlying
installation, then No, I don't think it's possible.
