Perhaps something like
pkgEnv = getNamespace("MyPackage")
attach(pkgEnv)
You might also be interested in assignInNamespace -- perhaps you can
add you function to the package's name space and then call it using
:::.
Be warned, this is the wrong way to solve a long-term problem. Bad
things will happen and nobody will feel sorry for you.
