The Arduino Ethernet shield is built around the Wiznet W5100. The chip provides a complete TCP/IP stack and can ethernet.
Porting the Arduino driver code to the Launchpad should be fairly straightforward, you'll need SPI and a few control lines.

Here's some Launchpad SPI code of mine to get you started:

The Launchpad currently has no official shield standard though there are efforts afoot:
