You can hand-solder a QFN package, it's actually not that much different than,
e.g., an SSOP package. If you need access to the center "paddle," you can add
a good-sized via on the backside.
I believe that sparkfun.com has some tutorials on hand-soldering these... they
also don't bother soldering the ground paddles, which you may be able to get
away with as well.
