There are different Home Automation bus systems (e.g. X10, EIB,
Lonworks, ...). Are there common standard protocols emerging ? I heard
that OPC might be one? Are there others? Are there open source or
commercial implementations of a Home Automation server supporting
multiple protocols?

Free advice, save your money and wait till the systems are safe. I was
an IT director and built several Tribal casinos from the ground up and
provided consultation for all their technologies.  Several of these
systems have no security protocols, because most PDAs can overrun your
commands, just as I showed another company who allowed us to capture
their IR spectrum and we recreated it with software we have
programmed.  It can capture auto remote start codes and garage doors. 
It plays real havoc with x10, which I first used in 1998 as xfire to
discover the protocols of a serial port remote on your pc.  Save the
money and wait 18 more months.  We do Asset Protection & Management,
so we experiment all the time with Wireless protocols in surveillance,
cctv, micro-cctv, cell phone programming captures /cloning, remote
services, and alarm systems.  We just worked with showing retail
stores that a home-made RFID wiper, that wipes the little RFID foil in
security packages so you can walk right out without sensor alarm.
