That's more of an OS thing than a Bro thing. Assuming linux, you could
use the 'bonding' module ( http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/Net:Bonding
).

You would then tell bro to use this device as your capture interface.

It's not uncommon to need more than one interface to collect (i.e. a
regen fibre tap).
