All,
When the chef-client is running as a daemon, is there a way to keep the
client running as a daemon, but temporarily put it into NOOP mode?

Lockfile? See
and
In client.rb or solo.rb
lockfile "/not-nfs/chef-lockfile.pid"

Chef uses flocks to ensure that there is a live “owner” of this lockfile, and depending on configuration, the default behavior if the lock isn’t available is for chef to wait, so this isn’t really a good option.

Doug,
There’s nothing built-in to do this. You could maybe experiment with using a data bag item to drive recipe code that would set Chef::Config[:why_run] to true, but I’m not sure it will work. Though we do something similar with a “suicide” cookbook that makes chef-client abort early if a certain data bag item contains a specific value (and we added some scripts to change the data bag item easily from the command line.
HTH,

My point of view: I would use a tag or an attribute and a top level (in run list) recipe aborting (gracefully if possible, can't remember this) the chef run if the tag is present.

you may even use the resource "omnibus chef killer" from
as a starting point for yours.
