A pity it's got to be that low -- Atom Z2460 has a TDP of 4w... it's an SoC Atom from what I understand -- meaning no chipset, just add RAM, VReg, and a few interface bits.
But there's no way to keep the required external components less than a watt, I'm sure.
Worth noting, even VIA can't keep up with that. Closest is an Eden ULV 1.0GHz Esther core... it gets 3.5w TDP but that's before the chipset and everything else...
Oh well :(
Just a thought -- I forget -- are EOMA68 cards permitted to protrude from the slot any, the way PCMCIA/Cardbus cards almost always did? If so, it *may* be possible to wire up a small ventilation system -- fan with a bit of ducting is what I'm picturing, there's no room for a real heatsink in there, after all. But every little bit helps... ;)

Maybe this is interesting for EOMA-68...
there's a practical/comfortable power guide of around 3.5 watts for any EOMA68 cpu card - 4.0 watts is slightly uncomfortable, and 5.0 watts is the hard external cut-off limit that will drop the power, stone dead.
i'm currently looking at a 64-bit quad-core ARM SoC that will have to be run at around 900mhz to stay within this limit. luckily, information's available on it so it's possible to use.
.... nvidia... yyeah, if someone can break through their barriers to entry, such that PCB CAD files and technical datasheets are made available, great, i can take a look.
