FWIW: some of us are working on a variant of MPI that would indeed support what you describe - it would support send/recv (i.e., MPI-1), but not collectives, and so would allow communication between arbitrary programs.
Not specifically targeting HLA/RTI, though I suppose a wrapper that conformed to that standard could be created.
