It would be a significant effort to put a board together to do anything with this, certainly more than the cost of the eval board if you place a value on your time (and aren't looking at this just as a hobby).
Most people who might use this in a commercial setting would buy the eval board first to try it out. That is probably what I would do even if this were a hobby project.
Of course a student could try to find a QFN 88pin to DIP adapter for like $20 (or make their own), and plug it into a breadboard. I could only find a QFN-72 to DIP adapter with 5 minutes of searching.
