I talked to someone off-list who said they are somehow reversed and
won't fit into normal PCI-E slots. In addition he pointed out that
most non-server boards don't have PCI-e 8x slots even if that weren't
the case.

On the plus side, he said he booted a FreeBSD 7 CD on a machine with a
SA8204ELP card, and it did detect the drives (but not RAID volumes),
indicating it should work as a plain controller. This is probably what
I'll be going for. Previously I had not been able to get any
information on whether it would work.
