It's tricky, but you can use Bluetooth. Turn on the PS3, go to Settings > Accessory Settings > Manage Bluetooth Devices. Select 'Register New Device' then hold the PS button and the Share button on the controller for a few seconds until it starts to sync.

If you have another synced controller, you can use it to navigate to Settings > Accessory Settings > Manage Bluetooth Devices. Then add your new controller by holding the PS and Share buttons.
