Go ahead and partition your drive with no swap.
Worst case scenario, you can create a file (say 200mb or so) with dd, format it as swap, mount it through the loopback device, and swap on that file.
This is actually a common method for linux on portable devices, as swapping on a file mounted through the loopback translates to power savings and extends battery life.
This has the added benefit that you can change the amount of space allocated for swap.
If anyone needs more info about this method, let me know.
