No. Without any communication port, there is no way for the UPS to signal the computer that it needs to shut down.
(The model you have is likely capable of communicating, and simply lacks the port. It's not worth invalidating your warranty or exposing yourself to a very real safety hazard by modifying it, especially when other models with communication capability are similarly priced to those without.)
