One way to go would be to get any router which can run DD-WRT well. That's a Linux variant that can run on some comsumer routers. See http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index. But it looks like the only IPsec software available for it is Openswan - which is solid when it works, but whether it has a configuration compatible with your office hardware I can't say. The other option would be just to find a low-end computer with 2 nics on it, install whatever Linux or BSD variant you like, and use ipsec_tools (or Openswan or Strongswan) to set up the tunnel. May or may not be a trivial project though. > Would that config require my local machines to be on a different local > network than the ISP-provided router?

It would require a different subnet. For normal traffic it could NAT to a Fios IP though. Whether that would break Fios features, I don't know.
