I have still a library for a graphical board (platform independent),
and a working plugin for most shogi variants on the generic gameserver.
I have also all the artwork for the shogi variants (based on steve
evans's program).
It's lying around unused:

GGS: http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~mburo/ggsa/ggsa.html
gcboard: http://gcboard.sourceforge.net/

All that would be needed for a fully working program is a GUI to
connect the board to a server or a engine, and to manage the games. An
interesting possibility would be to use Haskell for it, using
wxhaskell.
