While I haven't set one up like this myself, I'm tempted to do so.
I expect the Pi would make a very nice little auth/dhcp/etc
server.  However, to my knowledge, there aren't any NAT
implementations available on Plan 9.  I know it's been worked
on by several people at different times, but I don't think anyone
has a currently packaged implementation.

The databases used for these functions are pretty small, so
I'd be surprised if you filled a 1G card.
