<p>If you trust the other party, you could simply agree on an exchange rate and communicate the receiving addresses of the various cryptocurrencies.  Of course, you would have to find another party that wants (for example) to purchase LTC and is willing to pay in BTC.</p>

One possibility is Ripple.com via DividendRippler.com (or another LTC gateway).

Another possibility is an OTC (over the counter) style trade via http://bitcoin-otc.com or via a message on a forum like https://bitcointalk.org
