As of September 30, 2006, the last PDP-11 that rolled off the line 
will finally be 10 years old.

The PDP-11 EOL was actually September 30,1996. 
Mentec continued it and you can still buy new 11 based boards.

Is Mentec still selling them?  From the last time I looked at the 
website, it looked like they were only reselling emulators instead of 
real hardware now.

Still up until recently they were selling new boards.

They may well have stopped cpu production but only recently.The only CPUs
that have been around near as long in production are:

PDP-8 (cmos 6100 and 6120)
1802
Z80
