I think what Beansprout's suggesting is download the precompiled/binary package of Imagmagick i.e. ImageMagick-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz, unzip on your local machine and upload the extracted files to your host via FTP. Best to place them somewhere outside of the document root (not in public_html/ or www/).
The binary package may or may not include everything the various Imagemagick functions require. If it does, then you should be able to reference the uploaded executables in your scripts - if you uploaded to /home/pok125/imagemagick, then you can reference the convert function (for example) in your script as /home/pok125/imagemagick/bin/convert. Or you can set relevant environment variables as outlined here.
As Beansprout says, it may work, or it may not

What access do you have to the server, and what environment are you in? The server administrators should be happy to setup Imagemagick for you in most cases
