If you mean, can you have something other than FreeRADIUS as an 
authenticator and still record the users accounting data .
That is entirely dependent on your NAS... Certainly the protocol 
supports it, and theres even an accounting record attribute specifying 
what authenticated the user, the accounting record is in regards to.

We have a static WEP bssid set up on our access points, and the access 
points still generate accounting packets for the client associated.

If however your talking about some magical feature in FreeRADIUS, where 
it sits on your lan at some key point , and generates accounting data 
... then no.

It would be perfectly possible to write a client that did this with 
passive packet inspection, which could then forward on the results to 
the FreeRADIUS server, however FreeRADIUS won't do this itself.
