With the destruction of the HW and the civil war, there are lots of opportunities to develop a very credible story without the need to make either faction an ally with the klingon or fed.
You can even do that. Some romulan mercenaries that escaped the civil war that went to work for the klingons or the feds but... they can become double agents.. think of the possibilities...
