 You should be able to find all you need. It may just cost
more than you want to spend. :(

You might have to get somethings used.  For example, I have
a Ariadne ethernet, and CyberVision 643D video card.  Both of
which work fine with NetBSD 1.4.1.  But the Ariadne has been
replaced by the Ariadne II, which is supported AFAIK.  The 
CV643D may no longer be made.  I'm sure you can get a video
card, though I'm not certain of the currently the available 
models. 

I know there is a keyboard hardware hack to connect a PC 
keyboard.  You may even check www.softhut.com for a 
commercial item.
