Put the trim in the box and move the saw back and forth. I had to be stupid. I'm guessing the trim is too tall to get in the box an still be able to saw? You could always make your own miter box. The vast majority of cuts are just 45's and straight. 3 pieces of 2x6 nailed together to make a U shape, mark the 45's with a tri square and cut the slots with either a circular saw or regular hand saw. This should get you close enough for base trim.
Some towns and cities have tool lending libraries where you can borrow tools. They might have a power miter saw.
If you have a small table saw, you can use that. Tricky, but possible. A fine blade in a circular saw, a Tri square and some patience will do it also.
