SolidRun MACCHIATObin has one PCIe slot. Enough for a GPU! I have this, it's pretty good. Though I have to resort to USB-Ethernet since FreeBSD doesn't support the onboard NIC (and the driver isn't the easiest to port) :D

SolidRun HoneyComb LX2K has a bigger full size slot and an M.2 slot. I don't think bifurcation works but you do have two slots, you could run a GPU and a NIC or HBA at the same time, using an M.2 to PCIe-slot adapter. And/or use extension boards with PLX switches if you need more cards?

$750 is perhaps a bit more than I was willing to pay, but that is pretty interesting.
