If your frame doesn’t have any disc mounts, then you could always go for some forks with disc mounts, and have disc brakes at the front and V brakes at the back.
I’ve used this set-up on a Kona Explosif from circa 97-98, and it’s not too bad. Only real issue I’ve had with it is the forks changing the angles a bit, hence the steering.
NB The above method may be a load of bullshit fed to me by Mr Fluffykittens in order to avoid having me screaming “what the f*** are you taking me down this for? I’ve only got V-brakes you ****!” followed by me asking him to buy the Ti hardtail frame that I’d really like (it’ll be an investment, and we are both the same frame size… 🙂 )
