I would probably do one of the following:
Use an iframe. Its just so easy, but may not work for what you want.
Use mod_rewrite to transparently rewrite the request, again, maybe not
what you want.
Remote include the file (if supported). Not sure if this propagates
get, post, cookies, etc to the included page.
Use cURL to pass the POST data.
Constantly complain for the host to upgrade and include the xml-rpc
support. You might be able to convince them if you can load it as an
extension to php instead of a complete recompile
