Yes: don’t support terrible browsers.
Unfortunately while this may be an option with personal sites, or sites targeting a young or tech-savvy crowd, this is not a viable option for any sort of professional site.
What you can do is use a high-level library, which uses javascript to simulate the CSS3 specification, or some non-standard variant of the spec. Such libraries are often available as jQuery addons. e.g. http://welcome.totheinter.net/2008/07/22/multi-column-layout-with-css-and-jquery/ (though it doesn’t seem to be forward-compatible with CSS3)
