Depends on if the dynamo is working. Which it probably isn't, since the battery is dead.
But yes, if there's not enough juice to start the car, it can often be started by push starting -- manual transmission (or coasting down hill before popping the clutch), pushing with another vehicle fast enough to start with automatic transmission (20-30 mph), or by using the factory-supplied crank thru the grille, engaging the special crank bolt and starting that way. (As done with my 1967 Sunbeam Alpine.) Not a pleasant task if things are not working well.
In any case, there needs to be enough voltage from somewhere to excite the coil and produce a spark. Cars with electric fuel pumps and engine computers would have that hurdle, too.
