No, not that I know of.
You could however bung it in a directory on its own and then run
dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null >Packages
gzip <Packages >Packages.gz
And then add a line to your sources.list like:
deb
file:///home/youruser/somedirectory ./
Then run your aptitude or apt-get install somepackage=version
where version is the exact version of the .deb you've been given.
It's a bit hacky but it should work (untested too but should give you
the idea).
