I did this once by creating a few links.

So typo3 is installed in document_root/mydir and i have the following links:
fileadmin -> mydir/fileadmin/
index.php -> mydir/index.php
t3lib -> typo3_src/t3lib/
typo3 -> mydir/typo3/
typo3_src -> mydir/typo3_src/
typo3conf -> mydir/typo3conf/
typo3temp -> mydir/typo3temp/
uploads -> mydir/uploads/
mydir/ (typo3 install dir)
.htaccess (all htaccess rules)

That's not a very clean solution, but it works just fine.
Of course you have to merge the .htaccess of your other applications, etc.

cheers
