Nowadays, apparently. Do you saturate the connection though? Is it supported on all the ROMs/kernels? Are there CF 3G cards?

SL-6000 has on-board wifi which is a crap (can not do WPA). And with sleeve you can have 2 CF slots (also 2 batteries).
Interesting. That does open possibilities. Apparently the SL6000 didn't sell well though. My IWL 2200 CF (used on Zaurus) wasn't able to do WPA2 either, but I worked around that. If your device doesn't support WPA2 and you build your own *BSD based AP you can add a authpf(8) + ipsec(4) (or userland VPN daemon). It shouldn't be too hard to make this work together with Linux & IPTables + VPN/IPsec, or (Open)Solaris & IPF + VPN/IPsec. In the future, this might be useful when you're using 3G which provides no encryption. Instead of a VPN at home I'll just use a VPN on a 100 mbit server in a local serverpark though; less lag.
