What do you mean by "4-port switch card" in this context?

Programming would be easy, but the hardware design would be
a total nightmare. Not to talk about how expensive the parts
you'd need for this would be. Remember, we are talking here
about busses with high speed signals on them. Even getting
them from one chip to another on the same PCB is quite tricky.
Getting them from one PCB to another is very challenging and
most likely very expensive.
