create a phrase named contact_us_to_register containing something like... "Registration is done via email. Please contact us to have an account set up." Put it in the Phrase Type register.

Now create a plugin on hook register_start.

Name the hook and title it "Redirect Register Page to Contact us.

For the php code, put....

eval(print_standard_redirect('contact_us_to_regist er '));

Then maybe edit template contactus and add info about asking to be registered.

Something like that.
