You cannot do this with ipsecctl.  I don't know if it is possible
to set this up with isakmpd.conf.

In fact, ipsecctl does not provide a way to set up an SA bundle for
static keying, which used to be possible with ipsecadm.

From a quick glance at netinet/ip_esp.c, I think it is possible to
set up an ESP SA without authentication, but no userland tool
supports this.
