I would suggest doing what curt said: find some startups you are interested in and send the CEO an email. Most startups are small enough that they will love to speak to you via email - if not to hire immediately, then at least to build a relationship with you for the future (when that funding comes through!)
Maybe spend some time trying to find a job before you visit, during your visit, and after you go back. That way you will hopefully have a job lined up when your house sells (might be a while :P)
Good luck kirbman - feel free to email me too if you'd like (though I'm not in SF)
