Another possibility is if you don't need the full link speed, you can
use a managed switch and set up 802.1Q.
Make the ports at both ends trunk ports and multiplex as many Ethernet
segments as you like.
I use this approach with a TS-7670 industrial PC which has only one
100Mbps Ethernet interface to have it route between a DMZ and a
management network, and of course, indirectly two of my OpenBSD-based
virtual machines do this (with the Linux host doing the 802.1Q stuff).
