I do this all the time.

Create a policy as you would normally, but instead of properly defining 
a schedule, give it no hours during any day to run, and make it calendar 
based with a run day selected from a day two or three weeks ago.  (like 
June 1, 2008)  Any time you need to run it, just do a manual backup.  
Since it has no backup window, and the calendar day is permanently in 
the past, it will never start automatically.
