No you can not. There are only two 6-Pin PCIe power plugs. However there are sites out there that can help you rewire to get two more 6-Pin PCIe to power the 2nd GTX 295.
There are only 4 slots. 3 single and 1 double wide. That will allow only two GTX 285 and one GT 120 to be installed.
Also there is no SLI on Mac OS X. So getting two GTX 285 and SLI will not work nor give you extra performance.- Answered by NZ from Davis

then i would not use this card but would recommend the NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 as you can install 4 of these and then with the dvi to dual dvi adapters you can have up to 8 30 inch displays.
