Reliance makes a gizmo called the "luggable loo" which is a snap on toilet seat for 5 gallon bucket. No urine diverter, but sounds like it might fit the bill.

Having shot my mouth off on this board quite a bit on the composting toilet issue, I thought I'd add a kind of surprising recent experience I've had with same. I'm away from home doing some repairs...
