Is it possible to accurately measure airspeed without pitot tube?

This is a follow-up to my previous question:

How does this IMU work and how to convert its output into meaningful information?

for which many people asserted that I need a pitot tube and a static port in order to calculate airspeed and pressure altitude respectively, and errors will build up if I just integrate the accelerometer values.

I'd like to know whether it is possible to measure airspeed without a pitot tube, accurately?
