Sure I believe its possible but, how will you connect the drives to the additional controller. The drives are connected via a backplane and not a cable.

Dealmac just had a deal for one yesterday for $269:
CalDigit SATA II PCI Express Card for $269 - dealmac.com

Supports up to 20 drives including external RAIDs.
