OK, I think I got it. It appears they do in fact use a holder; I found [this story](http://www.packers.com/news/stories/2004/09/16/2/) on the Packers’ Web site about their use of a fair catch kick on Sept. 13, 1964:

> Next, to the surprise of the full house - and virtually all members of the attending media - Lombardi informed Referee Norm Schachter that the Packers would be attempting a fair catch kick on what would be the final play of the first half, and the Green and Gold promptly lined up across the field, 11 strong, **with quarterback Bart Starr remaining in the game as a holder at the line of scrimmage**.

So I guess that’s how they do it.

Interesting; I wonder what other little-used plays are out there, waiting for some resourceful coach to surprise us with.
