Can a monk get Improved Crit with Unarmed Strike?

Is Greater Magic Fang still around in 3.5? That adds magic bonuses to unarmed attacks, and can be made Permenant.

Yes, it is.

And it's permanent (I am English teacher - hear me spell).

Well, then, you shouldn't be starting a sentence with "and."

Well, they're not masterwork, so you can't enchant them, but you can apply things like Greater Magical Weapon to a monk's fists.

Well, perhaps if you got a manicure and put some really good lotion on them you might call them masterwork. ;-P

Starting a sentence with a preposition or conjunction is grammatically correct. It may be a little munchkin and maybe a lot of people think it should be nerfed, but by the rules it's still correct

Yes, it is. And (I can do that, the teacher said so ;-)) it can also be used to affect all natural weapons the creature has at once (making them +1).

There's even a spell out there (underdark maybe) that grants every natural attack +1/4 levels (maximum +5).

I never noticed the "manufactured" language before. Is that only in the SRD? I wonder if you could enchant your hands, per the regular magical weapon rules. +2 flaming fists?

Just enchant some leather gloves. Flexible enough to not be considered restrictive.

I'm rather fond of using a Necklace of Natural Weapons (from Savage Species) on the monk, especially if they have some other natural attacks. If you're rich, you can even have several, for different situations.

Also, Bracers of Striking (from Magic of Faerun) are useful as well, though, they can get hideously expensive at the same time.

You can also take Kensai (from Complete Warrior), though they seem to have forgotten that the unarmed strike isn't just using fists. Sigh...

The scary thing is that, if you have all of them, I think they stack to a limited extent, but I'm not sure. Not the enhancement bonuses, but the other abilities...does anybody have any ideas about that?

Yeah, I think you could, but you'd have to have masterwork fists first.
