No. Vacuum Palm and all the other techniques are based on his Doujutsu. His Doujutsu does not only enable him to see Chakra and the surroundings in a 360 degrees but also allows him to send out Chakra of his body. All these techniques are based on his Doujutsu and were never used without the activated Byakugan, were not even said to be. So sorry, what never happend in the Manga or was at least implied, is not even debatable. The gentle fist itself is a fighting style based on the Byakugan and Tenten said, that Neji is able to release Chakra from his whole body for the reason he mastered the gentle fist.
Hiashi has a 5 in Taijutsu due to his Byakugan. Gai differentiated between gentle fist and iron fist; later making external damage and former internal. Gentle fist means already says that it's "gentle", gentle movements, like taiji. That's what is the Hyugas style and anything needed, as the Byakugan based attacks are designed for making lots of internal damage by sending Chakra into the victims body, without raw power.
And without the Byakugan, anything what's left is Hiashi's gentle fighting style without the abilities of the Byakugan.
