Multiple MAC address on one interface

I'm dealing with a hard headed Cable ISP that won't give out additional IP's unless there's a unique MAC for each. (what a crock!) Eventually the plan is to hang five boxes off this connection (for development purposes) and it'd be much simpler to only have to deal with the wanky cable company once. I could put five NIC's in a box, but that seems a waste of hardware (and would require using a couple of expensive dual-interface NIC's). So, is there some cheap way to have one NIC respond to multiple MAC addresses? I'm most comfortable with Linux, but if I needed to use BSD or something else I'd be willing to do that.
