Try checking with RasterOps. They do top-quality stuff for the Mac II and
there's a good chance they're working on a NeXT card.

On the other hand, no matter how much I like the machine, I wouldn't gamble
on it being available in six months. And I certainly wouldn't gamble on
third-party options.

Try loking into a Mac II with a 56001 board. Not ideal, and overpriced too,
but it all exists today.
