Try widget locker. It'll disable the stock lock screen and allow you to use other buttons to unlock the phone

It's not free. $1.99 I think. The dev does have a link to an older version for free in the description. You could probably use that for a trial.

You can check this out. Might be a problem if you need combo of both power button and volume button, since it uses volume control for power switch.

The other solution is to fix the power button. Yes, it will be pricey with no warranty, but he Nexus One is an awfully good device. You could check both HTC and 3rd part repair options. I think it basically comes down to replacing a cable. Set a ceiling price you won't go beyond and see if you can get an estimate. Much less frustrating and you will love your Nexus One again.
