I don't know if a parallel ethernet chip has been done with a PIC, but
I know it has with AVR chips. uIP has definitely been ported to them.

Sounds cool.

An SPI ethernet controller might be a good choice, since there wont be
much IO space taken up. You'd just have to set up some registers to
hold the SPI data.
