There seem to be a few such solutions on the market:

is one.  I did a google search on "cf card hard drive portable" and found a
few.

Another option might be the IBM Microdrive, depending on what type of camera
you use.  I use a Canon camera with a 340MB microdrive and in 6 weeks in
Europe I only had to dump the contents of the card once, halfway through
(dumped ~450 3.3 Megapixel photos onto a CD-ROM at an internet cafe in
Paris).

Good luck.
