If NIC vendor managed to write aggregation capable drivers - neither StarWind nor any other network tools do not need to bother with extra work to do link aggregation... You just create virtual NIC (which does traffic splitting between two or more physical ones) and bind network application to use this "aggregated" network interface. That's all :) If you however have two incompatible NICs w/o proper software support and want StarWind to split the traffic itself - you're out of luck. We don't do this ATM and don't have any plans to do this so far. Sorry for this :)
