Ironically this is one of the options provided by some models in the dizzying line up. While it's not a dedicated IPMI port it uses Intel vPro for BMC like functionality. You'll pay a pretty premium for those models though.

I tried to buy one, but once I worked out what the exact model number was that had VPro I couldn't find one in stock anywhere. It should really be a standard feature, but I guess Intel didn't want to cannibalize server sales?

And if you do find one they will be a lot pricer than the other models.

The fragmentation in their lineup (and general lack of availability outside of B2B) really hamstrung them IMO.
