I'm not sure that I understand the question. Are you asking is there a way for OVS to send some packets to the controller without sending an OpenFlow packet-in? I suppose you could mirror the packet to a system through a dedicated port, VLAN, or tunnel. However, if you want to be using OpenFlow, packet-in is the natural way for sending packets to a controller.
