Since the whole thing is intended to look like an original, brick-sized GameBoy mono, there might be room for flip-down panels with the L/R buttons on them. When not being used, you could just keep them retracted and flush with the casing.
If I had, or knew anyone who had, injection molding equipment, I would make this in a heartbeat. In all honesty, it isn't that complex as far as electronics go, you're just re-shaping where the components for the system(s) go.
The most complicated part (which isn't really too hard) would be the power switch and wiring the battery to provide power to the devices. Speaking of which, I'd probably recommend using the DSi's charger style because it seems to me that my DSi charges nearly twice as fast as either my lite, my phat, or my SP. I would however change the battery pack (since you have room) to be two DSi packs wired in parallel, to provide extra life.
Cameras could go in almost identical spots as the DSi's are already- one inside the hinge and one where the power indicator light was on the original GB. Microphone would also be placed a bit down on the system to make it more accessible in the new arrangement, perhaps just below the touch screen inside the indentation for it.
Stereo audio would be a trick, I'm not sure if you could manage it without significantly altering the shape of the lower area of the system...
External ports would probably best be positioned near where the original's headphone jack is, on the bottom of the unit; it's where the most free space would be internally. Depending on how thick the screen pieces were, you might also have to put the cartridge slot there as well.
I'll keep thinking on this and try to draw up a schematic of sorts in the near future...
