I have a jillion LVDS pairs to terminate at a high-pin-count ASIC, and I'm looking to squeeze more terminations per square inch. (There's no hope of putting the terminations inside the ASIC at this point.) I'm hoping some company makes a single three-pin part the has those two resistors and a cap even if not specifically for termination use.

Well, a newline every 60-70 mcolumns would help :-)

Seriously, you should be able to skip the cap and just use a 100-ohm resistor.
Especially if you're running both ends of the line on a common ground.
Alternately, use a pullup pack (several 50-ohm resistors to a common pin)
and one cap. The application you're describing sounds like all of the pairs
come over a common path, so they should have pretty well-matched common-mode
potentials.
