Single piece of hardware, no. If 2, then yes.

A PCengines Alix 2D3 with pfSense/m0n0wall and OpenVPN UDP tunnels to 
the datacenter combined with a Power over Ethernet switch would seem a 
likely combination. A HP Procurve 8 Port gigabit desktop switch with PoE 
comes to mind. Not too expensive, fanless, quiet, reliable does VLANS.

That way you can power the router and phones from the same (smallish) 
UPS. Say a 700VA APC.
