There are 2 pci slots. We've managed to enable one of them; the patch is not in the repo yet, but you can find the thread here:

There's a patch there to that enables the pci slot not on the edge of the board.
Only one? That's strange. You mean http://www.linuxbios.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2007-September/024816.html ?
I was not aware of PCI-E issues. I am successfully using a PCI-E video card.
That depends on your definition of succesful. I run an X850 radeon in that slot. There's no picture before X is up, and X startup alone takes two minutes thirty seconds or so. Glxgears performs at 20% of the possible maximum, most probably because I'm not able to get a single interrupt from the card. But there is a picture and some acceleration, so you may call that succesful.
Which card do you use? Do you see interrupts from it? (make sure glxinfo/driinfo says dri: yes and run e.g. glxgears)
