Probably not.
Your idea is sound in concept. You could test that pair for voltage and could be reasonably certain that the telco line wasn't connected to either strand. However, that's no assurance that some idiot doesn't hook it up later. And since you have no control over that, you would be taking a risk on putting some low voltage back up your ATA's rear end and frying the poor sucker.
Of course, more importantly, you have forgotten the most important aspect of the wiring question...
Even if you put a dial tone back down the orange and white pair, where's it going to go? Sure... you could rewire the other jacks in your house to use that pair too, but where do they go? My point is that all these orange and white pairs aren't going to be all tied in at the interface box, are they? And so all of this work will get you nowhere unless you can get to that box, which was your whole problem in the first place.
