It's possible, though it's not easy to set up, nor is it a bright idea
for security reasons. Since both IP networks are sharing a collision
domain, you can have as much stateful firewalling as you want but a
skilled attacker will be able to just waltz on past like the NAT box
didn't exist.
Just pick up another NIC. In most parts of the world, they're pretty
cheap and common these days. (I've found more than one working NIC in
the streets locally!)
