I have a small circuit board that has no mounting holes but does provide unpopulated test point pads. Is there any option for machine screws or standoffs that I could solder into these for mounting the board?

Why not foam tape pads? – Passerby May 22 '13 at 09:49

Surface mount, reflow solderable stand-offs are available, for low mechanical stress applications.
See for instance the PEM ReelFast SMT product range. They offer spacers, nuts and snap fasteners in a range of sizes. These do not require plated through holes.
The parts come in the reel with removable Kapton patches on top, covering the holes, for vacuum pick-up, so they can be used for pick-and-place assembly as well.
