A model B Pi is best, since it has ethernet and two USB ports. A model A would still run ok but you'd really need a USB hub just to connect the mouse/kbd. Obviously you need a power supply and hdmi monitor as well.
RISC OS for Pi can be downloaded for free from www.raspberrypi.org/downloads
You can of course run Raspbian (or several other unixy based OSs) on Pi, and Squeak on that. I have to say that my experience is that RISC OS is a lot less treacle-like in its UI performance generally. Squeak performance is, unsurprisingly, just about identical barring compiler/library related differences
