It would depend on if the PPC being used supported SDIO (advanced SD IO interface for things like WIFI cards) Thats actually a good idea, but not sure if the cost for the interface would be worth it... (Plus, you would need to hook to a wall for 5V power)

It has already been done with a CF slot... Here is link:

$159.95 - CompactFlash USB 1.1 Host

Most portable thing I can think of thats affordable would be a cheap WIFI Hotspot Hub with a USB port...
