I think that it really shouldn't be too bad. There's already a class
structure in place to handle different types of video sources.
The reason that VLC dependencies are unacceptable is because VLC
includes DeCSS in it, so it cannot be legally distributed in the US.
If it's just a straight MPEG-2 stream over IP, that should be pretty
simple. If there's a little more to headers and stuff, you should
still be able to handle it. Try using netcat to connect to them and
redirect the output to a file and then see if mplayer will play it. If
so, it should be a piece of cake.
