basic functionality with generic hardware looks doable and one-clickable for a pi4:

usb splitter $9 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08C5FWQND

usb power blocker $7 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B094FYL9QT

hdmi-csi2 adapter $32 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09GY9M9BX

atx power control looks less off-the-shelf

You can save even more by making the splitter/power blocker yourself. It's simple enough that you can even do it by twisting instead of proper soldering, as long as you have a couple of cables you can sacrifice. On top of that you can get a cheaper hdmi-usb converter instead of using MIPI. They don't recommend it because the latency is bad and it's awkward, but it's still serviceable, especially if you only use the KVM for quick tasks. Doing it this way you could make the thing for only about ten euro cost on top of the pi.
