Normally, I don't participate in this sort of thing, but I'm a sucker 
for a "there's more than one way to do it" challenge.

The "ugly, please adjust according to your endianness, etc" way:

int *dec;
unsigned char *oct1, *oct2, *oct3, *oct4;

main(int argc, char **argv) {
  dec = malloc(sizeof(int));
  *dec = 1089055123;
  oct4 = dec;
  oct3 = oct4 + sizeof(char);
  oct2 = oct3 + sizeof(char);
  oct1 = oct2 + sizeof(char);

  printf("dec: %lu  ip: %hu.%hu.%hu.%hu\n", *dec, *oct1, *oct2, *oct3, 
*oct4);
}
