I've seen people use such constructs as \raisebox{-\height+\baselineskip}{...}, which works well using the calcpackage.
What equivalent would you use to achieve the same behaviour without the calc package?

You need the layouts package.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{layouts}
\begin{document}
\drawlist
\begin{enumerate}
\item foo
\currentlist
\begin{figure}
\listdesign
\end{figure}
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}
Ian's answer pointed me into the right direction: This is easily possible with the adjustbox package by Martin Scharrer. It basically gives you an \includegraphics-like interface to be used with any (boxable) material:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{adjustbox}
\begin{document}
\adjustbox{width=400pt,height=800pt,keepaspectratio=true}{Hello, World}
\end{document}
