Why not buy the Display+Backlight for 102 USD
and the Driver-chip for 50 USD from Kopin?
Add a BT829 to get the Y Cr Cb -signals from a composite-output on your SBC
(data-sheet at  http://www.conexant.com/Web/download/100132b.pdf?FileId=534)
and your set.
You can hook them up to I2C on the SBC (or simulated in parallel-port)
and have just {Y, Cr, Cb, power, gnd, I2C-clock, I2C-data} going to the
display.

Youll need to add op-amps and maybe a bit of glue-logic on the 
display-side but it should still be fairly tiny and gives you color.

I'm no expert on this but I think that would be it, wouldn't it?
