I don't think you'll find any dock that does -- you'd need an A-B input switch in front of the dock input to do that, and it will still be sequential -- you can't have two systems connected to one dock and live at the same time.

I have run two laptops in docking stations into a 4 port KVM switch (VGA, PS/2 mouse/keyboard & 3.5mm audio) for a total of 4 computers using two desktops as well. Why so many? One laptop was running Windows XP, the other one was running Windows 7, one desktop was running PC-DOS 7, and the other desktop was running Linux Mint.
I would not use an A/B switch as you will loose the mouse between switches. A KVM switch is much cleaner.
