The intel IXP's are like the above, XScale+extra-bits host-on-a-PCI 
card running Linux. Or is that what you were referring to with 
"<cards exist> but they are all fairly expensive."?

Unfortunately all the SW that lets one make use of the interesting
features of the IXPs (microEngines, crypto, etc) is a pile of
propietary code.

I'm working on open source microengine code for the IXP line, which
should be available Real Soon Now(TM).
