Not with plain HTML. You could, however, include an extra <input 
type="radio"> with the same 'name' at the end of the form (so as not to 
disturb the tabindex order), and then use CSS (eg. style="display: 
none") to hide the extra 'no selection' radio button from view.

It's better to just detect the 'no selection' situation at the server 
end, however. Assuming you have access to the receiving script.
