There's ways around it for most software but old jetdirect stuff,

  I hope you mean NAT64; 6to4 is, at best, iffy to support.  I do like the
$30 hardware device idea, though -- I haven't seen anything like that yet.

The idea's been done, eg http://www.gogo6.com/gogoware/gogocpe.
Not quite down to $30 there, but it'd be fairly easy to roll custom firmware to do 6rd or similar on a raspberry pi or beaglebone black at about that price point. Finding the business case and figuring out how to support it is the part that gets tricky.
