The only other addition needed is something to lock up the front wheel to prevent the loaded/unloaded bike from moving. I use a Bikebrake which is a silcone band which mounts on your left grip to lock up the front wheel. A cycling buddy of mine uses a strip of old inner tube to do the same thing.
You can mount a conventional kickstand to a Surly LHT or Disc Trucker, and any short length of string/twine/cord will serve as front brake lever lock:

Surly Long Haul Trucker and rear mounted kickstand???
