No, you cannot log it until you get the endorsement.
But a complex endorsement can be accomplished in one flight...typically we were training a commercial applicant, so his first complex flight would not be PIC but he would get his endorsement after that flight. His subsequent commercial complex training would all be PIC. This was easy because we knew he would get additional supervised complex flying.
I'm not sure why there is all this interest in logging grey area piston-PIC. Maybe it's related to the low-time pilot phenomenon?
Unless you're certain it's PIC, best not to log it. What you REALLY need is turbine, not piston, PIC anyway.
