<p>Is it possible to get a transaction with no fee attached processed faster by sending it directly to my own bitcoind running with mintxfee=0?</p>

Will a zero-fee transaction get processed faster if I send it straight to a miner I am running especially for that purpose?

This will let you include your own transaction in the next block you find yourself, without paying a fee (but the fee would be paid to yourself). However, if you are a solo miner, it will probably be an *extremely* long time before you find a block yourself. It won't have any effect on whether other miners will accept your transaction without a fee.
