If you dig it does seem possible to get into the Roku via a debug mode over telnet. I don't have one here so can't test this to see what is and isn't possible but if it has any sort of storage for settings then it may be possible to tell it to use a fixed IP via telnet.

Doesn't matter, you can still run a DHCP server on it that you can configure as you wish.

...and there ya go. Roku configured as you wish and via DHCP. It's not as elegant a solution as one might like but it will work and doesn't involve buying any additional hardware.
