I'm only shooting in the dark here, but I think any mainboard would only support one single gameport device, or is it possible to add another soundcard with another gameport and run multiple gameport devices?

Or is it possible to "hardwire" the two devices thru a single port, possibly using a "splitter" adapter?

I know people that have used a splitter..

Also it should be possible to add another inexpensive sound card with gameports on it..

Also, there is a Gameport to USB adapter out there....;-)
