In the Boeings that I know, if the cabin should depressurize prior to the auxiliary tanks becoming empty, bleed air is the backup system.

The aux fuel is transferred first (after a couple of conditions have been met), into the CWT, and that of course is the first source of normal fuel feed to the engines.
