You can proxy it with a PHP/ASP/etc. page on your local site that (in the back-end) will query the remote information. This will allow you to call somesite.com/getForeignData (which actually calls othersite.com/foreignData) and return it within the same domain.
Other than that, you're going to need to use JSONP (this is a boundary purposely set). The "last" option is to enable cross-boundary calls on your browser, but if you want others to have the same ability, this is only a temporary solution.
