I have a Mac branded monitor, circa 1999. Very large, and very beige with a standard, fifteen pin conection. (Two rows, uppermost eight pins, lower seven). It should be very simple to adapt it to a modren VGA display connector (fifteen pins, three rows). There is a small, round, black port on the back, which looks like an S-Video input. Is it? If it is, how difficult would it be to install an older style PS2 in the monitor.

The port on the back is for ADB, Apple's old keyboard/mouse interface. Those monitors had ADB hubs built into them.
Sorry, but it's a Mac Din-8 serial port, intended for monitor calibration. It looks like s-video, but it's not.
Some of the Apple monitors do have ADB on them as well, as Dr. Webster mentions, but that won't help you either.
Doc Webster and eeun are both right (or wrong, depending on how you look at it
), some had ADB ports and/or serial ports, but none had an s-video input.
