Perfectly possible.
The mail server at work has 3 IPs. One of the ethernet ports on the
firewall has 2 IPs.
Think IP aliases (the old & more established way):
ifconfig eth0
ifconfig eth0:0
ifconfig eth0:1
as well as primary/secondary/tertiary/whatever addresses on each interface
(the new way):
ip addr add <ip number 1>/24 bcast <broadcast 1> dev eth0
ip addr add <ip number 2>/24 bcast <broadcast 2> dev eth0
ip addr add <ip number 3>/24 bcast <broadcast 3> dev eth0

I've used Dlink's 4 port cards (they're really 4 individual ethernet
adapters on a single card, each with it's own IRQ & IO port, as well as
some "glue" to make the card look like a totally separate PCI bus), and I
hear Adaptec an Intel make them as well.
