My ISP officially allows for multiple dynamic IPs on a single account (Shaw in British Columbia, Canada). It's an official option, but currently requires 1 NIC per IP. I already have 3 public IPs spread over 3 machines. I want to amalgamate them to one 'box' for centralized firewall purposes.
However, it is limited depending on the plan you have. You can't simply plug 4 quad ethernet cards and have 16 dynamic addresses. I don't know if they are actually checking how many IP addresses you used.
With standard "high speed internet", they allow 2 dynamic IP addresses per customer. For bussiness packages, they allow more (5 dynamic for SOHO, 8 dynamic for professinal, 1 static and 8 dynamic for bussiness). You can get additional dynamic and static IP addresses for a monthly fee, however this option is available only for SOHO, profesional and bussiness packages. 2 static addresses are something like $20/month.
