Can you register for a "packstation" in Germany if you are traveling through Germany?
In Germany there is a brilliant service called packstation. I envy my German friends for this service where packages can be delivered which you can then collect at any time. Typically they are located at very public places (typically gas stations). In Germany you don't longer need to stay home to receive a package.
I will be traveling through Germany soon, where it would help if I could use this service as well. Unfortunately the registration website requires recidency in Germany.
Is there really no way non-residents could use this service?

You should be able to use poste restante (general delivery, "Postlagernd" in German). Deutsche Post has a site where you can look up addresses for receiving post offices in whatever town you're going to. I'm pretty sure you should be able to address your package to the post office, and write poste restante/general delivery/Postlagernd and have them hold it for you.
