You could do it with a single NIC but you will get a lot of
collisions on it and doing the IPFWADM firewall stuff will
be harder. Since NICs are so cheap, just get another one.

List out your IRQs. You'd be surprised what you can do. LPT ports
don't need IRQs (polling), plus, you can disable other ones (are
you using your PS/2 mouse port, etc).

If you go ADSL modem to PC.. you need a strait cable. If you go
ADSL modem to hib, you need a rolled cable.
