Sure, ditto ski socks or over-the-calf dress socks, depending on your shoes. A fanny pack can double as a sporran until you get the kit assembled. It's your look: you choose!

My first kilt arrived ahead of sporran and hose. I had a fanny pack and some tall ski socks, so I wore it.

While some prefer the look of an inexpensive leather sporran, the SWK nylon cargo sporran ("Night Stalker") wins in my estimation for sheer utility.
