I ordered an openrd-client from globalscale and it arrived within
a few days.  It's the same SoC (Kirkwood) as the Sheevaplug, but more
(perhaps all) of the connectors are made available, plus vga output for $250.
Looking at mine, I see connectors for 7 usb 2 ports, 2 Gb ethernets,
esata, SMbus, system debug, sd card, rs485, rs232, audio speaker & mic,
and vga output.  So far, I have both ethernet ports working.  The VGA
is Volari Z11, which is apparently undocumented except for Linux drivers.

Note that the Kirkwood SoC does not include hardware floating-point, so
the kernel emulates floating-point instructions, which is slow, though
acceptable for uses such as awk.
