I'm thinkin' you'll have to fabricate an inboard disc brake arrangement. It would be a matter of fabbing up a mount attached to the output flange at the differential to bolt the rotor to and then another mount for the caliper to bolt to the differential housing. Since there is some "slide" in the halfshaft, it should accomodate the extra width of a thin rotor without making a problem for you at the balljoints.
As I've thought about this for a little while, I think I'd be shopping at a motorcycle boneyard for a nice, thin front rotor and the handlebar-mounted master cylinder. It shouldn't be too tough to mount the cylinder and rig up a floor-mounted pull handle. You should be able to find a plethora of them at any boneyard.
