If the developer posts an unsigned app, then it should be possible for someone who paid the $99 dev fee to sign the app and install it on their personal phone.

I don't know if it is possible to do without paying the fee though...

It's not. The $99 gets you a code signing certificate which let's you install apps on the device. Jailbreaking circumvents this, and allows your device run any app.

jwz posted recently that someone loaned him a key so he could test his own app (daliclock) on his phone. So, I'm guessing no.
