You can install gummiboot with pacman -S gummiboot && gummiboot install without being in EFI mode at all. You *do not* need the efivars partition mounted, since it will install itself as the fallback loader. It will take care of installing itself as an entry automatically too if it's mounted, but you can let it do that later or just not do it at all.
