The SBLive card might be a good solution. It includes an on-board
hardware synthesizer (the EMU10k1) into which you'll load the soundfonts
of your choice. You'll need to get a MIDI adapter cable for the card for
your keyboard, then you can play the card's synth with the MIDI keyboard.
The Audigy systems are said to be good too but I haven't tried one yet.
Both the Live and Audigy are well-supported by ALSA.
