You would need a router that is capable of load balancing.

This is an advanced routing feature that is implemented using routing protocols (like RIP, IGRP, EIGRP and BGP). These protocols are not available on low end routers. To properly implement this you are realistcally looking at a $5K investment in a router (not really ideal for a residential implementation).

There may be a load balancing software out there that can decide on which ethernet port to send the traffic out and then re-assemble the packets as they come in.
