Best workaround I've found so far if you want to download Google Play APKs  
on your computer and then transfer them to your phone manually is Raccoon:

Requires java along with a 'dummy' Google account, but gets the job done  
with the least amount of hassle.

Unfortunately, it appears that TextSecure still requires the Google  
Services framework to be installed and running on the Android device.  
Haven't figured out yet how to do this manually this without installing  
Google Play.

Also, FWIW, you can (or at least you used to be able to) manually remove a  
Google account from an Android phone without having to factory reset the  
device.
