Currently I don't have an Internet connection available on my cellphone and I would like to install some applications on it.
Is it possible?
Do I have to use the market?
You can use the Android Debug Bridge (adb) to install applications. You need to connect your phone to your computer via USB and possess the .apk

The easier solution though is if your phone has Wi-Fi, just connect to an access-point and then open the Android Market.
You don't have to use the PC.

ALso: My HTC Magic came with a crappy ROM with no Google products including Market. So I flashed a Hero port onto my phone. Something worth considering. It's risky business nevertheless.
