Well, there is, but you need to look at the *module* not at the routers. 
None of the routers mentioned without some kind of switch module (built 
in or otherwise) will have a "switchport" command. Your current router 
that you think doesn't have it will magically get it when the right card 
is present. It's not a software thing.
