Depending on your traffic(encrypted) this will require a good processor (64 bit will be great), a good ram and a good system board for stability. remember, this is a critical system. also you'll be requiring a *GOOD interface card (most systemboards now have a *GOOD built in interface card). Also study your implementation carefully (will this connect to other VPN implementation?) to minimize head ache (for inter operability). A *GOOD OS (linux distro). Time will be the key here since most are for free (you wil need to understand crypto, OpenSWAN or OpenVPN). Check http://www.astaro.com this might help you in your implementation.
