Yes, there is a way (although somewhat tedious) to review pending edits even with less than 10,000 reputation points or being lucky.
Find the end of edit queue. Use
http://stackoverflow.com/suggested-edits/X
. If X is past the end the result will "Page Not Found" and if not "Suggested Edit". Do a binary search to find it. On 2011-06-14 the end of the queue washttp://stackoverflow.com/suggested-edits/60511
and on 2011-07-04T02:09:00+02 it was http://stackoverflow.com/suggested-edits/70489.Find suggested edits not approved or rejected (pending) by lowering the ID number, 70488, 70487, 70486, etc. When one is found click the link on the top of page to open the post and take part in the approval process.
