A simpler solution might be to find an IC that will accept serial input and send data out on one of its pins according to a simple instruction issued by the program (like an opening byte that tells it which pin, a stream of data, and a closing byte). There has to be something like that out there, and if it's a fairly common need it would be relatively inexpensive to buy the chip. Although that's even farther out of the scope of what you originally wanted to do, it might be the simplest solution.
