In addition to the ATi device Tim mentioned, Keyspan has been making 
such devices for a long time on the Mac 
<http://www.keyspan.com/products/homepage-Remotes.spml> Their devices 
also work on Windows.

You can also browse the Mac Product Guide at Apple to find similar 
hardware packages from MacAlly, Interlink and others:

If you have a Bluetooth enabled phone and Mac, you can also use your 
phone to control your Mac. Software solutions such as Salling Clicker 
<http://homepage.mac.com/jonassalling/Shareware/Clicker/>  offer a 
variety of controls which you can customize (and is the solution I 
currently use).
