One other solution might be to pass an mt subroutine via the vars parameter. Then you could do exactly what you are wanting. I'd imagine you might only want to do this if you have access to the c object (used to call maketext) outside of TT and if you will be using mt() in the processed templates.

So your vars would be something like:
{
 mt => sub{ return $c->maketext(@_); }
}
