Anyone could do it with relative ease - just use something like the http://ip-to-country.webhosting.info/ database and you only need to write a small script - but you'd end up with something that just isn't suitable for a page with heavy traffic.
You should seek contact with one of the companies that already have a script in C that detects country, and ask them how much some custom work would cost.

It will not put more load on your system then a trade script if you do it right.
