While not open source, Mikrotik's RouterOS is pretty sweet. It's free if you buy their hardware, and they have a $60 5-port gigabit router. It is based on Linux and supports KVM; while it does not have built-in IDS (at the moment) they have a wiki article about using KVM to add a guest OS to run SNORT or your IDS of choice.
