I see. so in order to have SPI and TTL serial going to the CMU cam you'd need a low cost dual USART w/ SPI/I2C port microcontroller to do the multiplexing, with an amount of RAM for buffering and addressing. think of "encapsulating" the SPI and CMUcam's serial data to the IFI (no bit banging please!)

(in networking we have 802.1q VLANing.. I think some day theres gonna be VUSARTing )
