How about getting a good fast Ethernet switch, set yourself up with 40 - 50
VLANs and then use a separate firewall box between switch and Internet. This
should effectively isolate the subnets from each other and your firewall
configuration is back to two interfaces.
Not sure if this would fully address your security issues but it might be
more doable than trying to build a computer / firewall with 50 Ethernet
interfaces.
