WordPress get posts by date without query_posts

1. Yes, simple add a filter before you call it and remove it after you do

   function filter_where_wpa89154($where = '') {
       //posts in the last 30 days
       $where .= " AND post_date > '" . date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-30 days')) . "'";
       return $where;
   }
   
   add_filter('posts_where', 'filter_where_wpa89154');
   $args = array(
       'posts_per_page'  => 5,
       'post_type'       => 'post',
       'post_status'     => 'publish',
       'suppress_filters' => false
   ); 
   $posts = get_posts($args);
   remove_filter('posts_where', 'filter_where_wpa89154');
   

   notice the 'suppress_filters' => false which is what makes this happen with get_posts

2. As of 3.7 you can use date_query http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Date_Parameters

   So it would look like:

   $args = array(
       'posts_per_page'  => 5,
       'post_type'       => 'post',
       'post_status'     => 'publish',
       'date_query' => array(
           'after' => date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-30 days')) 
       ),
       'suppress_filters' => false
   ); 
   $posts = get_posts($args);
