Given all the issues I didn't want to get into, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned SecureID. Since I did mention it, it's good to have your caveat on the record.

Just trying to make sure I really know what exists.

So what options are there in that space?

AFAIK none --- with the standard open source servers.  There are
patches available for MIT to support CRYPTOcard and SecureID.  There
are patches available for Heimdal to support X509 certificates
(PKINIT).

Just as a note: if you want to go down the token road, SecurID isn't
a good choice, because due to the API provided you don't gain any entropy
that can be used to improve the password. Some sites don't seem to care
about this, but you really do care about solving the crypto problem
with passwords, it's something to think about.
