Highly doubtful, but you can always try. See if they'll clear you for cabin jumpseating (No ACASS needed, however they will probably check the airline code to make sure there is a reciprocal agreement).
As for going to the ticket counter, it depends on which gate you're at. For inter island flights in HNL it's not necessary, but going to the mainland, they'll make you run back for screening or they'll call one of the blue monkey boys to wand you and search your stuff right there. Apparently some gates don't have either internet or the program to bypass the secondary screening (don't know which). SFO is the only airport where I have been able to go straight to the gate. FEDEX is by far the best way to HNL.
