It may be possible to do it on a programmable calculator, but those are really computers, so I'd say no.  You can probably generate a private key without a computer, but it's too hard to calculate the address.

Practically speaking, no. Possible, yes:

However, an intermediate option is to use dice or playing cards to generate your own random numbers so that you're only using the computer to do your hashing/encrypting.

In fact, I just implemented this feature on https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com
