No, t3lib_div is AFAIK never instantiated. Tthe functions are always 
called directly like this: "t3lib_div::doSomthing();", so no extension 
class would be used anyway.

"Solution" would be to hardcode it into the t3lib_div PHP-file or 
otherwise provide a completely independant class and call it like 
tx_yourext_div::doSomething().
