In reality, it's not practical and you should just flash a GPS enabled ROM and go ahead and get it set up.

You can disable 911 tracking on your phone. It uses triangulation via tower signals and has nothing to do with the GPS chip. All cellphones (even those without physical gps chips) can be located with the triangulation method. The Mogul has a toggle in the phone options to turn it off !!! Makes aGPS fail (thus the physical GPS chip takes longer to get a satellite fix on a cold start).
