No, unless you run Mach10 on the 'bridge' Mac.  The Mac OS will not use both  
ports at the same time, nor will it route.  With Mach10 loaded, it'll route  
TCP-IP packets, but not appletalk ones.

I'm not familiar with the current PC appletalk stuff, it would not work with  
the older stuff (2 years ago).
