Yes. Most PCI adapters that have good XFree86 4.x support are fairly safe to
work simultaneously anymore. I run a multi-head NVidia box (primary AGP and
auxilliary PCI adapters) at home without incident. The NKS NOC runs 3 PCs,
each with a mix of ATI adapters to run ten (10) 17" monitors in a video
display wall - that was fun to build :)

The trick is to find a well supported PCI card and purchase a few.
Alternatively, consider a two-head NVidia card (no need for Xinerama, and you
can still run two-screen OpenGL). Matrox cards work well, as do older ATI
cards.
