Control.ValidateRequestMode, new to .NET 4.5, might be of interest to you. It allows you to specify how individual controls are validated.

You could probably add some javascript to encode the textbox value before the form is submitted.

something like:

$(function() {
  $("form").submit(function() {
    var myTextBox = $("#myTextBox");
    myTextBox.val( encodeMyHtml( myTextBox.val() ) );
  });
});

function encodeMyHtml(encodedHtml) {
  encodedHtml = escape(encodedHtml);
  encodedHtml = encodedHtml.replace(/\//g,"%2F");
  encodedHtml = encodedHtml.replace(/\?/g,"%3F");
  encodedHtml = encodedHtml.replace(/=/g,"%3D");
  encodedHtml = encodedHtml.replace(/&/g,"%26");
  encodedHtml = encodedHtml.replace(/@/g,"%40");
  encodeHtml.htmlEncoded.value = encodedHtml;
}
