(cl-letf (((mark))) ...) might do the trick.
Or maybe you'll need (cl-letf (((mark)) (mark-active)) ...).
note that if the "..." activates or deactivates the mark, you're
probably somewhat in trouble in the sense that (de)activate-mark-hook
will be run, despite the cl-letf, and you can't really undo the effect
of running a hook.
