Besides four levels of Rogue/Barbarian, what options exist for gaining uncanny dodge?

A druid or sorcerer can cast two of the four spells from the primal line in dragon magic, primal hunter, primal instincts, primal senses, and primal speed. That comes on line as early as level five, and it lasts all day. I'm a fan of using hunter and instincts, cause instincts is amazing, and hunter is cheap.

Shape Soulmeld (Impulse Boots), or a level in incarnate, will do the trick.

I'll keep that in mind, but I'm hoping to get a straight martial character (likely ToB) to gain uncanny dodge, with a lower level cost, or even a couple feats if possible.

EDIT: That was directed at eggynack. Piggy, thanks for the one level dip suggestion :)

Also, warblades get Uncanny Dodge, if you're building a martial character.
