Support for multiple interfaces, and lots of other things, are built
in to the TCP stack (Macs use the same Mentat TCP/IP stack used by
Solaris and other OSes). There are shareware packages that turn this
on. A lot of people use Macs as a router and NAT box to, for
example, share a cable modem or DSL line amongst a collection of
systems.
