De they mean the same thing? and sound natural? 1) l don't mind traveling all the way there, even if I could only see her once. 2) l don't mind traveling all the way there, even if only to see her once.

Both are perfect. In #1, I would prefer "can" to "could" since "I don't mind" is not conditional. I like #2 with no changes.

Natural are: I don’t mind traveling all the way there, even if I can only see her one time. I don’t mind traveling all the way there, even if I only get to see her once. I don’t mind traveling all the way there - even to see her just once. If I could see her even once, I wouldn’t mind traveling all the way there. Your ‘could’ sounds wrong (though the type of error made by native speakers) unless it is part of a conditional such as in my last example.

2)".... even if i only see her once". you need to delete the "to". 1) I am not a fan of this sentence. the word "could" doesn't do anything useful for me.
