Your request inspired me to try a google search:
linux laptop as kvm console
Apparently there is such a device (URL may wrap):
http://us.startech.com/product/NOTECONS01-Portable-USB-PS-2-KVM-Console-Adap...
It may require a Windows XP or Mac laptop, but at least one page says it works on Linux, too. You could try to contact StarTech, I guess.

Thanx Dale, that's what I was looking for :) Now I just need to find a local supplier, seeing how expensive this is. I guess my google search terms were just a bit off.....
I use this on MacOSX and WinXP on the Laptop side (KVM console) and Linux on the server side:

Never tried it yet with Linux as the KVM console, though.
