This is a problem that cropped up with my last two gaming groups.
First one, half of us ended up on the other coast (some north, some south) and the second one, we used to drive 90 minutes to game sessions and do an overnight until the drive changed to 7 or 8 hours. We tried several times to either use GRIP or OpenRPG but it didn't work out.
I checked up on the PHPRPG Sourceforge project, unfortunately, it's kind of dusty, no activity to speak of since 2002.
Something I'd thought of, and may now be 'legal' with the advent of d20 and the OGL, is a MUD atmosphere with d20 mechanics hard-coded in and toolkits for the GM to do his or her thing in creating content, importing character sheets, etc.
Still have a lot of typing, of course, but the mechanics stuff would be taken care of.
Is there anything like this out there already? I'd be willing to pay something for that if it'd be good enough, but not sure if anyone else would.
