Not that it matters but a 1 MS/S A/D converter, a DDS synthesizer and a
bit of an FPGA that fans out one word of data to 16 control lines.

Pick one of the three functions above.

No, it's still just a pencil sketch. But I don't need a completed
schematic to know that I need 3 SPI channels and the Bone only has one
enabled by default. I've enabled the other port. Now I need to figure
out how to enable that port's second chip select line. That was my
question. Any suggestions?
