I am planning to combine the sparkfun Color LCD Shield (LCD) and SD card reader(SD reader)
the problem is both require pins 13(Sck) and 11(DI).
the plan is too load bitmaps off the SD card (FAT32) and display it on the LCD.
And also load text files to determine what bitmap to show (but that is easy)

You'll just have to get creative with one of the shields. Wire it to a bread board then to the Arduino so you can have it use pins other then 13 and 11.

the SD reader is here http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1206874649/8
the hardware is not the problem.
I was wondering if I could get software for fat that did not use fixed pins.

If the library doesn't support defining which pins are used then go into the library and find where the pins are assigned and change it.
Well if you haven't already got the shields (or for someone elses/future reference) there is this shield: http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1256896315 which has a touch screen and SD read/write.
