If you look back at the various approaches for DMX pc based systems it will suggest that
1 you could make your own card, Martin started with ISA card, moved to PCI
2 There were some attempts re using parallel port but eventually all of these on the lower end were abandoned for USB
3 Make your own usb-dmx box this certainly seems to be the way forward, as you can see some of these boxes are down to about 60 dollars, with not a lot of parts
you could do it via firewire 1394 but USB would probably be better
OR you could do it via Ethernet which seems to be the way going forward
It would be interesting to see if you could to an art-net to dmx box your self
I would think that you could bread board up a usb or ethernet version without too much difficulty
