That said, the RPi should be able to support it without anything other than the leds and switches added to the AdaFruit breakout board, I have.   

Not enough GPIO pins... You will need to multiplex the pins. I several 74HC595 to drive the LEDs, and I'm experimenting with 74HC165 to drive banks of DIP switches as input (although that project is quite freezing now).   I posted some details in my blog (Blinkenlights: Not so difficult as I thought), with links to the code I have written for the 4.0 version of simh, and a java app with virtual LEDs also. My version, by the way, runs in an Arduino, but I also wrote a small "client" for the Pi. I just switched to the Arduino because I have heard horror stories about dead Raspis after stupid cabling mistakes messing with the GPIO pins...
