You can buy a prepaid iTunes gift card at many retailers, they're usually near the prepaid phone cards and other gift cards and such. You can create an iTunes Store account with one of those if you don't have a credit card. Or if you have a credit card, but you don't want them to bill you automatically (worried about "accidentally" purchasing something, etc.) you can give them a credit card at signup and remove it from your account information afterwards. They will authorize (but not actually collect) a $1.00 charge on the card to verify that it's a real card, and then you can change or remove the credit card information from your account once it has been created.

I don't think you can create an account without one or the other though (credit card or iTunes gift card). Bummer, but it's true.
