I don't know wether you can access it via an renamed index.php, but you 
can move typo3 into a subdir and work from there

move all TYPO3-related files from webroot to webroot/t3dir including the 
original index.php renamed back.
keep watch for relative symlinks (typo3_src -> ../typo3_src-4.5.?)

you may need to remove realurl or reconfigure it.
also references to baseurl, as it changed with the subdir

beside that I got a lot of installations running in subdirs

and be sure to clear all caches ;-)
