I have a HP ProCurve 1810G-8 which I currently use as a normal switch between 3 servers and a firewall.
2 of the servers are ESXi hosts, and one is a Nexentastor box with 2 iSCSI target LUNs.
As the iSCSI traffic is on the same LAN as all other traffic, I would like to switch this to use a SAN for iSCSI traffic and the LAN for all other traffic.
The Nexentastor box only has 2 NICs, and as such, with a physical arrangement, I presume that one must be plugged into the SAN VLAN and one on the LAN VLAN ports of the switch.
Is there a way to have multiple VLANs over the same port?
e.g. the Nexentsator box has 2 NICs, both plugged into the switch, both ports with access to both of the VLANs?

Yes it is possible, you just need to set up the port as a "trunk port". You can also add ACLs to permit only those two VLANs.
You will also need to set up appropriate VLANs on your ESXi (In the virtual switch configuration, you'll have to set up VLANs for your virtual machines, for all of them to be in the "lan" VLAN).
