Not really...

You are what they call bootstrapped.

Your quickest solution would be the card lending program. Someone  
(snail) mails you a card that contains everything you need to get  
Ethernet or WiFi working. You move (put away) the packages from that  
card to your own Newton and send the card back.

After that, you may never need the serial connection again. Getting a  
serial adapter setup wouldn't be a bad idea. But, with an Ethernet  
card and a Mac, all things are possible.
