Since Laravel4 requires mcrypt extension, and PHP7 doesn't seem to have mcrypt extension, is there any workaround for this to work?

Laravel does not need mcrypt extension anymore. The best (=secure) solution is to update to Laravel >5.1 (there is no LTS before Laravel 5.2).
You can install Mcrypt from the PHP Source Tree as a module if you choose. Enable the module by adding: 'extension=mcrypt.so' to PHP. ini. Done!
What is mcrypt? The mcrypt extension is a replacement for the UNIX crypt command. These commands serve as a means to encrypt files on UNIX and Linux systems. The php-mcrypt extension serves as an interface between PHP and mcrypt.
Had the same issue - PHP7 missing mcrypt.
This worked for me. When asked, keep local PHP configuration files.
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install mcrypt php7.0-mcrypt sudo apt-get upgrade Restart FPM (or Apache or NGINX etc.) after installation.

I'm on Mac and with laravel valet I've solved with this:
brew install php70-mcrypt
