Why can't you have switcher boxes for the slot in the back of the Mac?
That is, connect the port to a box outside the mac which, for every input
from the Mac port, has two (or more) outputs, into which you can then plug 
two (or more) devices.  When you want to switch from, say, using a color
monitor to using a midi system, you just switch the leads.
