microchip do a demo board with an ICD2 port, USB and serial. I dislike the
price and the IC package choice though.

velleman do a board with a USB port, a pic and some digital IO (they sell it
as an IO interface but its based on one of the 16 series USB pics and with
some very minor changes can be used with one of the 18 series USB pics) but
it has no serial and it would take pretty severe modification to make it in
circuit programmable.

if a 28 pin pic is enough for you then sparkfun sell the USB bit whacker
http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=762, there
version of the board doesn't seem to have a specific ICSP/ICD connection
(despite thier circuit diagram showing it, i've e-mailed them to check this
out) but it does have all the signals needed for programming brought out to
pads.
