Some of the ST's supports IEEE-1588

I'd suggest a $20 STM32-F4-Discovery (Digikey etc)
http://parts.digikey.com/1/parts/2484058-eval-kit-stm32f-discovery-
stm32f4discovery.html
And a Phy (The mac is in the F4) $10

Some www-sw is here (German use google translate)

The F4 even supports "Single precision" Floats in HW ,
and has both ADC & DAC (with the ADC/DAC vref pin on external pin).
1G flash , 192k Ram , and it runs 168Mhz.
I think there is 2 x 32bit timers (Fclock/2) , and a fair amount of 16bit
timers.
It comes with build in debugger (proprietarary) , but the debug protocol
has been reversed ... (see texane project) , and afaik it is now suported
in openocd. So arm-gcc & arm-gdb can be used (ie codesourcery).
ST suggests Atollic as "gcc" toolchain , but that's imho "handicapped" in
the free version.
I have earlier suggested the F4-Discovery , as a "Tnut" GPSDO/OCXO/RBXO
controller board.
