The Genesi HDB page ( http://www.genesippc.com/hdb.php ) says "Single or Dual Freescale G4 (MPC744x) processors," up to 1.5GHz I suppose. Also, Genesi says they're providing "a complete reference design package" so apparently there's no manufacturing until a customer arranges it.
Since you're in Austin, maybe you could get a first-hand look at whatever Genesi has put together so far. They have offices there. (BTW and off-topic -- I've always enjoyed your Hack the Planet blog.)

Nope. Upto 1.7 GHz.
HDB Motherboards can mount also MPC7448, and this is now available from Freescale, ranging from 600MHz upto 1.7GHz with 1 MB cache L2 and 90nm layout design.

Well... What do you expect from a motherboard born to be hosted in a rack server chassis?
Stunning graphic? Advanced audio features?
Description of all I/O ports?
If i remember well, in some duscussion it had been stated that Genesi blade has no multimedia capabiliies.
It is a crunching machine for services like hosting.
All it needs it is single or double ethernet ports.
