That's possible and not uncommon... more or less for exactly the reason 
you mentioned, just use a file set that has no actual file line. For 
vertain experiments, for example, I recently set up the following:

Fileset {
   Name = "Nothing"
   Description = "A file set referencing no data at all"
}

Job {
   Name = "Mitochondrium-ScriptOnly"
   Client = "Mitochondrium-fd"
   Enabled = no
   Fileset = "Nothing"
   JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
   Pool = "short"
   Runscript {
    Command = "powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass 
C:\\Users\\Arno\\showenv.ps1"
    RunsWhen = Before
   }
   Schedule = "None"
   WriteBootstrap = "/opt/bacula/bsr/%c_%n.bsr"
}

See above for an example.

Cheers,
