There was a product made to do just this, and it appeard on ebay awhile back. (and went for and obscene price.) You had a card that went in the SE/30, and out the back through the expansion access slot normally utilized by ethernet cards, was a d-sub connector with many pins. A cable went from this to a box, which had a nubus backplane and multiple (I think 5 or 8) slots. You could then use standard nubus cards in your SE/30.
