You could still do this if the HTML is relatively clean. In your layout rather than provide a TML you can programatically create the HTML element by element. So you could fetch their file and then parse it and load it in bit by bit. That wouldn't break anything.
There is a very basic example of writing content in http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5.1/guide/component-classes.html. You basically just use the writer class to output everything. For performance (as remote fetching will be slow) you would probably want to cache the fetched snippet in memory.
