Okrand himself, on the "Conversational Klingon" tape.

Probably not, but anyone with the tape and access to the proper
equipment could probably do so easily.
Allan Wechsler, the author of the article, also noted that Okrand
pronounces "-rgh", the only Klingon final consonant cluster other
than y' /j?/ and w' /w?/, with an approximant "r"; the normal
Klingon "r" is an alveolar trill.
