Definitely, if you are using a MacBook Pro which features an ExpressCard 34 socket, you can use the Cubix Visual GPU-Xpander with ExpressCard at http://www.cubixgpu.com/Products/Expresscard34. On older models, they would have this port on both the 15" and 17" models, but last two product releases only features ExopressCard 34 socket on 17" model.

Anyhow, you can load up to 2 x GTX 285 for Mac, 2 x Quadro FX 4800 for Mac, or 4 x GTX 120 for Mac. You could also opt to go with a single GPU card, then add-in your I/O captures cards or audio controllers - anything that runs off of a PCI Express bus.
