I don't *think* so.

In any event I just want something I can FTP to another box and that will
behave like reading the first few blocks of a PDS with B/QSAM, so the keys
don't matter to me.

I'm certain that you can read a PDS directory by specifying a DD with
DSORG=PS,RECFM=F,LRECL=256,BLKSIZE=256.

But don't PDS directory blocks have keys on disk?   IEBGENER won't copy
those - your target dataset will be regular DSORG=PS.
