Hm,
wikipedia list's the graphic adapters that were installed in those machines,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Pro
and while it will be troublesome to produce such an 'old' card, it shouldn't be impossible
(second hand, at least)

for the price quoted you'd be able to pick up a couple of these old machines for spare parts.
