If your ISP's can't support TSIG, you should either tell them that they need
to upgrade or find yourself a new ISP.  TSIG has been around for a long time
so anyone not able to support TSIG is running a version of BIND or other DNS
Server which is full of security holes. If you are concerned enough to want to
use TSIG, you should be concerned that the slaves you want to use are running
DNS software with all the latest security fixes.
