Well, for starters, get GURPS Psionic Powers. It's essentially a conversion of the old-style 3e psionics into 4e terms. Point values will change, but that's for the better - they'll be balanced now.

For equipment, I think you can pretty much use Ultra-Tech with some name changes. Shredders are Gauss pistols, basic lasers are high-energy lasers, flamers are flamers, and impact weapons, of course, are conventional small arms. You have to fiddle a little with the TLs on the pistol-size lasers, and Gauss weapons are technically TL 10, but you can handwave them, since the book explicitly describes shredders as being a bit beyond the colonists`s resources to easily build at Planetfall.
