The Arduino has some built-in PID libraries, if you want to go really cheap, but if you do go that route you wouldn't be using CAN and would probably need the Arduino Due for the processing power.
cRIOs introduce the same issue as RoboRIOs for this purpose - I'm looking for something else.

Edit: I considered using arduino-controlled PID, but I am concerned that this would not translate into a "proven FRC-capable solution" if it were to come up in future years. I'd rather solve this with basic programming of an SRX.

No, I haven't asked him specifically, but I did spend a few minutes browsing ctr-electronics.
