One could have made an overlay network on top of IPv4, where applications (and/or operating networking stacks) could have been aware of how to manipulate the data. Majorly more kludgy, but feasible. A number of real IPv4 addresses would have been allocated to serve as gateways/proxies to access the new IPv666 network.
