I looked at the manual at the Digi site. On page 22, it says:

Mbox 2 Mini CoreAudio Driver
The Mbox 2 Mini CoreAudio Driver is a multiclient, multichannel sound driver that allows CoreAudio-compatible applications to record and play back through Digidesign hardware

The Mbox 2 Mini CoreAudio Driver is installed
by default when you install Pro Tools.

For information on configuring the Mbox 2
Mini CoreAudio Driver, see the CoreAudio
Drivers Guide.

Standalone Mbox 2 Mini CoreAudio Driver
The Mbox 2 Mini CoreAudio Driver can be installed as a standalone driver on Mac systems that do not have Pro Tools software installed. The standalone version of this driver is available on the Pro Tools Installer disc (in the Additional Files Folder).

For information on installing and configuring
the standalone version of the Mbox 2
Mini CoreAudio Driver, see the CoreAudio
Drivers Guide.


So, it looks to me like you CAN do it without even having to install the PT LE software on the Mac if you want to uninstall PT LE and just use the CoreAudio driver to run Logic.
