If you don't have a need for  small scale (very zoomed out) maps, then
you can use the 'reproject' option on the Layer.Google, and have all
your data in EPSG:4326, but some parts of OpenLayers like Vector drawing
will not function correctly.

It is possible to set up a second WMS server, like MapServer, to
reproject your data, but that would not work very well if the data is
vector data, since labels, etc. would be stretched. 

There is no way to have properly aligned data served in EPSG:4326 over
the commercial data APIs.
