Some signals, like global clocks, are permanently assigned.

If you don't know E-Teknet, in Arizona, then you need to check their
prices.  They do all the work in China, but have a rep office in the
US.  Their quality is excellent, I have had some 6-layer boards done
very reasonably by them, and use them for most of my PCB work.  They
do assembly, too, but I have not used that service.  Just look them up
on Google and run a quote.  It will still be several hundred $ per
order, though.
