I've never seen one myself, but given the simplicity of the keyboard electronics it certainly can't be that hard (or that expensive) to build one. If nothing else one could grab an old keyboard with damaged keys and strip out just the electronics. Still, I think that if you're planning on setting up a headless system you should make sure it will boot without a keyboard. Having a chunk of electronics hanging off the back is kind of tasteless. :-)!!
