Namba's answer is correct if your question was like "can I drive a hundred miles w/o gear oil?", but since you only want to test your alternator your engine will not run longer than a few seconds, and the gearbox will run completely w/o load. There is nothing to worry about it, just make sure its set into neutral. If you are still afraid, have somebody hold down the clutch pedal while you check your voltage, but I think that would be overkill already.
