I've done some googling and haven't found any real solutions, but thought I'd check here before giving up completely.

Doubtful, you'll probably have an easier time running an older OS in a VM with IPX installed.

You might have better luck asking about workarounds for any particular software that requires it, if that's why you are asking.

No, there's doesn't seem to be a way to get general support for IPX for 64-bit Vista.

I'm specifically looking for a way to get DosBox's IPX emulation to work so some buddies and I can play MOO2 multiplayer. I thought I'd need IPX iteslf, but I just did some digging and DoxBox's page says "Support for ipx over udp emulation. Works fine with all games tested," does that mean I don't even need IPX?

That's what it sounds like.
