Not sure you need one. I popped into my Tomato config, and I think all you need to do is select "Wireless Ethernet Bridge" under the "Basic" configuration page, tell it your SSID, and jack your NIC-modded Famicom into one of the network ports. Haven't tested it, but it really shouldn't be complicated at all. Wireless ethernet bridges tend to be absolutely trivial to setup.

I wish I knew why it wasn't working then. I set it up, each side says it connected to the other. But packets don't seem to get through =/
What's on the other end? Have you SSH'd into Tomato and looked at the logs yet? Its biggest failing at the moment is adequate error reporting. You may want to take a peak for yourself to see what it's doing wrong.
By the way, the way these things SHOULD work is that you end up with a true Ethernet bridge, just like a rather low-level VPN. Should be seamless and work just fine, given a connection to the WAP. That said, if you can't get anything figured out there are dedicated wireless ethernet bridges out there for a pretty minimal cost.

When in doubt [of networking] whip tcpdump or wireshark out.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've actually solved this problem a much simpler way. We have AT&T U-verse here, which is a cable TV over DSL service. This needs a set top box around every TV connected to the internet, and it turns out they also have an ethernet port available for routing. Handy. In the end, wireless bridging is a Gordian knot. ^_^
