so, what are your suggestions?


It might depend on how much detail you want the T&G to have. Do you
need a bevel at the joint or just a simple square T&G. If it's just a
simple square T&G it could be cut easily with a table saw assuming the
material is not to hard to handle.
If you need to buy bits or cutters I would suggest calling the local
millwork to see what they would charge you to run it. They will have
T&G cutters and if the material is clean and straight (so they don't
have to spend time prepping it) the cost might not be prohibitive. I
would guess not much more than a couple of bits and a new router if
you happen to burn yours up.
