It is possible to add additional NIC but i wouldn't recommend it.
He should just buy a cheap switch for 20.-

You don't have to have a switch, but will generally want one unless you don't need super-fast (gigabit) throughput between the hosts and must filter traffic between them for some reason. It's generally more sensible to get a switch, but depends on the circumstances.
