Depends on your definition of "pretty quickly" The driver station sends packets at 50Hz. That means you can update the state of a line at 50Hz. That means if you went with something simple and fast like SPI, you could run your clock at 25Hz. That means you can transfer 3.125 bytes per second. Depending on what you're trying to talk to, that may be enough, but I don't think I'd call it quick for any application we're considering.
What is the IO that you ultimately need to interact with? Knobs? Buttons? Switches? LEDs? Like I said before, perhaps using the available IO directly will work better for your application.
