I've done this with IPNetRouter. You just set up MacTCP to use AppleTalk and put in the address of the AppleTalk interface on the 7200, which will be different from the 7200's Ethernet IP address. (It's been a while since I did all this, but I believe the IPNR manual describes it pretty well. I can did up my details if it helps.) LocalTalk Bridge does not seem to pass IP packets, unfortunately. There are also hardware bridges, such as the Cayman Gator Box, that you can probably find cheaper these days than IPNetRouter. (If someone can tell me if it's legal to transfer my license, I would be willing to sell mine, since my need for it is long past. Normally, I wouldn't consider it for shareware, but this is a fairly expensive program, and it is closer to a commercial package than most shareware.) You can also get an Ethernet card for the SE/30 (I recently sold the one I had), or a Dayna SCSI/Link box that connects to SCSI port. (I do have one of those, but I'm not sure if the RJ45 port works -- it may be one of those units that require a 10 Mbps-only hub; I get a steady flashing light with my 10/100 switch.)
