Boeing is just starting to offer a dedicated cargo version of their Boeing 777-200 aircraft. Wouldn't be too difficult to modify it into a tanker.
DoD is gonna be up shit creek without a paddle if there is no replacement tanker for the geriatric KC-135s - you can only rebuild the sonsabitches so many times in the depot. And Lockheed just got shot down trying to market Airbus tankers under their brand name.
