Anything is possible if you have enough money to spend. Given that the engine ECU and Gearbox ECU work together it is likely even if you can get the gearbox to physically fit you would need someone to re-program the gearbox ECU as the V8 diesel ECU would not work due to being set up to work with different torque and power perameters

First problem, TD6 gearbox has five gears...TDV8 box has more than five gears....between six and eight depending on the year.
Need I say more?

Not as big a problem as it sounds, the ZF 6 speed box is pretty much the same size as the ZF 5 speed used in the 4.4 petrol. In theory there should be enough sapce to fit it. Colling would probably be pretty easy to sort as well.
Comes down to whether or not you could sort the gearbox ECU programming

Try Ashcrofts. They have done all sorts of weird and wonderful conversions.
They sell an aftermarket gearbox ECU called compushift. It can be programmed to what you want but is very expensive at £750.
