Does anyone know if the current XServes have additional SATA ports on the motherboard a la the Mac Pro?

I was unable to locate any in a convenient location.

According to Sonnet, a company that makes a lot of add-on cards for Macs, the drivers for the cheap dual port eSATA cards don't perform very well in OS X, so they suggest you buy a $250 4 port card with a different chipset with better drivers.

No there are none. As you can verify on Apple's dev notes for the Xserve.
