That probably won't work...you need at least 2 ethernet cards or 1 100 mbs card and a managed switch that supports trunked vlans. My suggestion would be to find a low power quadra or II series machine. A quadra, such as a 610 would be great, because it has one ethernet port built in; all you would have to add is the second ethernet card and an angel adaptor.
Also, all of the *nix's, (Linux, NetBSD, and OpenBSD) all require a full 68040 or 68030/68020 with FPU and MMU. Also, I suggest you use OpenBSD. I currently run a Quadra 800 w/ 4 NICs as my firewall (public, DMZ, LAN1, LAN2). Great machine.
