No, I'm pretty sure that you can't.  Apart from mmcli, no one has identified any software available for the PinePhone that is capable of reading the contacts off the SIM card, which is a prerequisite for entering them into a Google account.  But I'm pretty sure that Google provides no web interface that accepts raw SIM card contact data anyway.

In short, what you are proposing might work if you have access to a second smartphone—one that runs Android (which is capable of reading SIM card contacts) and is linked to a Google account—but it's not a solution for someone who has only a PinePhone running Manjaro or some other free software OS.
