Doesn't that look pretty :) Given that it's a DVI-I connector, am I correct in assuming it'll support analog VGA output?

Yes, you can use both DVI and VGA monitors. Also, with the 15KHz video expansion, you can also use classic Amiga RGB monitors for classic screenmodes. I am getting one myself (classic Amiga graphics looks best on one! And I love working in DPaintIV on a real RGB screen) but the actual 15KHz expansion board is not done yet.
Beautiful :) I was afraid I'd have to use a DVI-D LCD with it...

Is the MMU likely to be added in future revisions?

Big deal, another pic of a board. I held the Boxxer in my hand and what happend V A P O U R .... nobody has seen one screenshot of this thing working so ... read above.
Actually, people have seen entire videos of it working. What's the matter - can't conceive of a new Amiga not made by CUSA?

You know what'd be kinda fun? To install a NatAmi in the case of my dead Mac SE/30, that's what. I'd need to find a 9" SVGA monitor to scavenge from, though...

That is a very odd idea. While the Mac SE/30 was one of the better early Macs, its still only an Apple.
You don't see people going out of their way to recreate those machines.
Yes, well, I'm an odd person. And it's more that I really, really like the look of the Snow White-design Macs - it reminds me of the Amiga 500, but a little more restrained. Be cool as hell to put an Amiga in there :)
