Another possibility:

I wrote aprsd.perl a while back.  I still use it here quite a bit.
You could tweak it to queue up the data received, and dump it all
down to Xastir like the big boys do.  It also should be able to
handle a serial port, but I haven't done that in a while.

I use it to connect to three (or more) local servers, and then I
connect multiple Xastir instances to it.a

It's on my ftp site.  There's a link to that site off my web pages
