Mouse, The ADM5120 CPU has an integrated switch, and there's support for that CPU in NetBSD. The docs are (were?) open. I don't know if any boards are still made with the ADM5120. My RouterBOARD 153 has one. On a more Soekris-related note, who can tell me the name of a 4-port add-on card with a programmable switch matrix?
