How about something like:

SELECT
   aa.part,
   aa.mfg,
   aa.qty,
   bb.qty AS qty_incoming,
   CASE WHEN aa.price > bb.price THEN aa.price ELSE bb.price END AS 
highest_price,
   aa.eta
FROM
  (
    SELECT part,mfg,qty,price FROM mytable WHERE eta IS NOT NULL
  ) aa,
  (
    SELECT part,mfg,qty,price FROM mytable WHERE eta IS NULL
  ) bb
WHERE
   aa.part = bb.part
   AND aa.mfg=bb.mfg
;

This is assuming you only have one row with "eta" set for each 
(part,mfg). If not, you'll have to identify which row you want.
