Yep, you'll need to put a JAR into $M2_HOME/lib or similar that contains the alternate dependency resolver. It can be completely separated, I think.

However, we generally don't want to have to modify the Maven install, so if this is a common case we may want to support it via the POM. The <extensions> tag is there for that purpose, but we may not find it is loaded early enough for the dependency resolver.

Regardless, it will be possible to do this, and we can work to making it cleaner afterwards.
