(1) Use a pump of some sort to transfer the oil. Depending on what's available to you locally, you might consider a pump of the sort Brett suggests, an inline pump of the type used to syphon fuel, or one of those pumps that attaches to the mouth of an oil can. A caution: do resist the urge to see if you're almost done by sticking a finger into the fill hole. I did that once, and was seriously considering a field amputation before finally managing to unstick the finger.
(2) Insert a 3/8" or 1/2" ID hose into the fill opening, run the free end of the hose up and forward into the engine bay, stick a funnel into this end, and just pour the oil in. Two cautions here: (a) make sure the hose won't come out of the tranny in mid-pour, and (b) don't overfill the funnel.
An alternative, for those inclined, is to cut a hole in the side of the transmission tunnel adjacent to the fill plug, and fill the transmission through this hole. Afterwards, the hole could be covered with a piece of sheet metal held in place by a couple of screws.
