GRE tunnel's are the best. We used that for over a year to tunnel Banyan Vines across our IP Network.... It works great....

Has anyone had any experience successfully getting native DECNet packets encapsulated in an IP packet and transmitted over an IP network? The solution I am trying to create will allow VAXes to continue to talk DECNet on their LANs and have the ability to communicate with DECNet areas on a WAN via IP. Essentially we are try to remove the DECNet protocol from our intranet while not disrupting location's DECNet configurations.

I've not tried it, but my gut reaction would be to use GRE tunnels. Have you looked on cisco.com for sample configs?
