You can use multiple authentication backends in the same Django project. All you have to do is write/install a backend that supports your alternative method, and add it to AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS in your settings file.
The info here should help a lot: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#writing-an-authentication-backend For users who authenticate against the alternative source, just create a new User instance on-the-fly when they first successfully log in. This will allow the rest of your app and pluggable apps to "just work" if they rely on contrib.auth.
