It's possible on any Mac with a multi-protocol Thunderbolt port (2011 and later); you can daisy-chain one Thunderbolt monitor to a second monitor, as long as the first is an Apple-branded monitor with Thunderbolt ports. You can also use a third-party dock with appropriate Thunderbolt/mini-DisplayPort video adapters, connecting the computer to the dock with Thunderbolt and the dock to monitor with a mini-DisplayPort adapter plugged into the Thunderbolt pass-through port. Most modern Thunderbolt docks also include an HDMI port for a second monitor, although the resolution on the HDMI port is often limited to 1920x1280/1400. Displays attached to the Thunderbolt/Thunderbolt 2 port with an adapter can display at resolutions up to 3840x2160 or 5120x2880, depending on the graphics processor.
There are also USB-to-video dongles; I think there are USB 2 versions around, although newer ones are USB 3. I've never tried any, but I'm shooping around for one; my current "desktop" machine is a castoff 2011 MacBook Pro with a non-functional display, and I too am used to a two-monitor expanded desktop.
