Prety much anything that supports GPIO or configurable LED's should be able to 
do what you want with a little bit of hardware hacking. My preferred method 
would be to de-solder an LED and replace it with an optocoupler. Interface the 
optocoupler to your control circuit.

To find out what hardware has accessible LED's get a listing of the kernel 
modules with "led" in their names off the download pages for the various 
architectures.

I know my PC Engines WRAP and ALIX boards have LED's. Lots of other hardware 
has them too.

HTH,
