J, Why waste an iMac for that task? I've got a 7200/120 acting as my gateway/router here that runs without a hitch and doesn't get rebooted but once every month and sometimes longer.
Also, you don't *need* two Ethernet cards to configure it as a broadband router. I used to run a Graphite AirPort Base station as my broadband router. You simply plug all your Ethernet into a hub (or switch) and then you turn the DHCP server function off on the router. Your router gets the IP from the ISP via DHCP and then you statically assign your clients Ips and all is well. This isn't *better* than one with dual Ethernet ports, but if you're just playing around with it, why bother?
