Of course you can configure Squid with just 1 NIC card and I public IP.
You need either a load balancer sitting in front of Squid or you need
your router to forward web request to your Squid box. I am guessing that
you want your Squid to run transparently too.

Do you have a router connected to your leased line? If so, then setup
your router to forward web requests to your single NIC Squid box.

Since you mentioned using this Squid box for an ISP, will your customers
also be having Public IP addresses or will they be having private
address running under NAT?

Which OS will you be using on what hardware?
