are there any motherboards out there that support dual PCI Express graphics chips and Dual FX-64 processors, or am I just being greedy?

Yes there are, look on the web... you may find what you want.
www.amd.com for one site. also try ASUS for the motherboards as they are further in technology.

i am not big fan of sli and crossfire dual graphics,the average user has enough problems getting a decent single card,never mind two,but dual core processors are a different matter
dual core chips are becoming the norm in machines now,i have seen sub £700 p.c,s with dual core facilities,and just the other night pc world were advertising a compaq p.c with dual core for...wait for it....£399
as for the amd fx-64 processors ,these are again out of the range of average users,but are probally one of the fastest processors you can buy,i read a review for a mesh p.c which had a fx-60 chip,2gb ram and dual sli graphics,it knocked up a worldbench score of 125,which is absolutely amazing but with a price tag of £2699 again it needs a re-mortgage to buy one
if you have the money go for it,but will you utelise the power,what software do you have that can get the most out of these specs,this is the main talking point at the moment,the software companies are not willing to bring out games and programs that run dual core chips until they know they will shift enough units to justify making the games ect
if you really want a good graphic set-up and money is no object go for the nvidia quad sli cards,this has 4 cards joined in sets of 2 ,so in other words ,2x card= 1 pci-e x16 slot=you will need 2 x 16x pci-express slots
also there is a add on card avalible that fits into a pci-bus slot and enhances your graphic card,i cant remember the name ,but you need it to run certain games,one such game is ghost recon...advanced warrior..it basically creates spectacular effects and with the pci-e card aswell the effect is mind blowing,the add-on card costs £229
anyway go for it and buy the best,at least it will be future proof
good luck

Wait till FX-64 comes out first...unless you mean FX processors in general, then not at this time. You could use two 200 or 22xx series Opterons.
