It's pretty much impossible.
If you try to change the rules of geometry, pi might not even be defined (i.e., there wouldn't be a constant ratio between the circumference of a circle and its diameter, or between its area and the square of its radius). If you don't make a change that big, then the proofs that pi is irrational and indeed transcendental would carry through unchanged.

Obvious: define the base of your numbering system as π and it will be "1" in that system.
"1" will be 3.14159265...
"2" now has "value" of 6.2831853...
"3" now has "value" of 9.42477795...
etc, etc.
