Can you start your computer running Windows XP into MS-DOS without doing a dual-boot?

No. Windows XP is not based on MS-DOS, unlike older versions of Windows like 95 or 98. These systems "booted in MS-DOS mode" by interrupting the boot sequence that started them from the DOS command line. Windows XP has it's own kernel and bootloader, and so does not rely on MS-DOS for anything. The command prompt you may find in XP is just a virtual machine to allow for running some DOS programs, as well as command-line system administration.
