simply the slots work differently (PCI being parallel and PCIe being serial) so its not possible to simple have an adapter cable as the over simplified example of an XLR-TRS.
as robi mention there are some simple cards but dont know if they work with TDM cards, its unlikley that digidesign will ever test them.
on top of that you may be trouble egtting the things in your case, as they ass significant height to a card you cant simply slot them in unless you lower the mobother board and i dont think any case will have enough free space to mount the mobo that low.
easiest solution is dont buy a computer without PCI slots
