I cannot tell you for sure since I do not have that router.  However, according to wikipedia, there are two versions of the Wrt54gx.  One using a Broadcom 4704 chipset (version 1 of the router) and one using a Realtek RTL8651B chipset (version 2 of the router).  Tomato is know to work with some routers running the Broadcom 4704 chipset, but not the Realtek - so if you have version 1 of the router, rolling the dice may work.  Good luck and please let us know if you learn more!
