/dev/tcp listen instead of nc listen

With a netcat listener like: nc -l / > ~/.bashrc My question is: Is there a way to mimic the capabilities of nc -l in my first line with /dev/tcp instead of nc? The machines I'm working on are extremely hardened lab/sandbox environment RHEL (no ssh, no nc, no LDAP, no yum, I can't install new software, and they are not connected to the internet)
