Wondering if I can connect my nas directly to my PC with 2 identical 10 gig nics

You would simply configure a static IP on both 10 GbE NICs, yes. Since there's only two and no router involved, no DHCP for automatic IP assignment involved/needed.
You can just pick two IPs from a private IP range that does not conflict with the range used by your router.
So for example if that one is using 192.168.0.x/255.255.255.0 you could use 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 instead. Or use 10.0.0.1 and .2.
The netmaks defines what belongs to the same subnet. So 255.255.255.0 means its the same subnet as long as it starts with 192.168.0.
So 192.168.1 would be a different subnet in this case. Basically any number other than zero in the third place (or a different number in first or second)
There are three private IP ranges, 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x and 172.16-31.x.x. So a lot of possibilities to choose from.
