I can't be certain, as I don't know the DOMPDF code, but you should be
able to load it as an additional spl_autoload handler:
require_once 'Zend/Loader.php';
require_once 'path/to/file/containing/DOMPDF_autoload...';
Zend_Loader::registerAutoload();
spl_autoload_register('DOMPDF_autoload');
spl_autoload() is an improvement over __autoload() precisely for
situations like this, where you need to mix and match libraries that
have their own autoloading logic, and is why we adopted it in ZF.
