Hi Joe,
The RIOduino does come with an extra connector giving you the ability to stack another MXP board on top. However, it is unlikely that the navX will clear the shield headers on the RIOduino.
One solution would be to use the
REV MXP Extension Cable to mount the navX elsewhere.
Like others have stated, the RIOduino has both UART and I2C connected to the MXP. You can use I2C on the RIOduino and UART on the navX.
