Yes, natbib in conjunction with makebst to create an individual bst file is a good solution. The bst file allows you to set truncation limits for author names. Just type

latex makebst

and follow the instructions (if you're on a unix system, that is).

You will have \citet, \citep (for citation in parentheses), \citeauthor and others, but I guess you can batch replace those in your source.

HTH,
