The IETF Host Resources MIB Working Group is in the final stages of
writing such a MIB that defines system independent objects for hosts. 
In particular, it will handle the things you mentioned.  The Internet
Draft is available through anonyous FTP to nnsc.nsf.net in the directory
internet-drafts/draft-ietf-hostmib-resources-00.txt.  The latest working
draft is on lancaster.andrew.cmu.edu in pub/hostmib/hostmib.txt.

There are none yet that I know about.  I expect that there will be
commercial products for the PC, Mac, and Unix that implement this MIB. 
Since the MIB is pretty simple, I would also expect that a freely
available Unix agent would come along as well.
