Well an FPGA will be pretty darn simple from a hardware point of view.

Absolutely. Even the simplest modern FPGA can pump out 10Mbps. You'll
likely need to add a line driver to handle the long line, but there are
lots out there.

How hard it is depends on how much experience you have. If you have zero
FPGA experience, but know either VHDL or Verilog I'd say it's pretty
darn easy to do what you want.

If you have no VHDL or Verilog experience then I'd say an FPGA is
probably not the route you want to take, unless learning VHDL or Verilog
is of future use to you.
