Sure, if your hardware supports these. On i386 systems, look over the kernel config file, the interface names and the related values for interrupts etc are listed (if applicable). If you boot a system with several network cards in correct hardware configuration and the right kernel configuration to match the hardware configuration, you will have more than one interface visible. `ifconfig -a` should show these (more than one interface). Then, edit your /etc/rc-scripts to ifconfig each interface.
