One could use something like Calibre PCI93LV/C (expensive) and write a driver for it (if the vendor is willing to release the card specification), Quancom PCIPROTO or similar, or use a USB-I2C interface card such as Diolan U2C-12. Either would require some additional work to add actual sensors. I use Diolan U2C-12 and made a little board with a max6696 using Schmartboard test boards. That was quite straightforward.
