Actually you can pre-process your video so the 4:3 image is pillarboxed inside 16:9 frame(this is what Warner Bros done for Blu-ray releases of Casablanca, The Wozard of Oz and Gone with the Wind). You then encode the video as 16:9, preferably setting Pan&Scan flag in encoding (Cinemacraft MP will let you do it) and then when authoring in DVD SP you set track presentation as 16:9 and Pan&Scan.
In most cases you will get the best of both worlds
