This is very standard stuff. Debian can handle everything you need. OpenWrt is needed on kit with very restricted memory and flash, and neither of these are a problem with the BBB.
The kernel is going to have support for most USB 3G modems (just don't choose a brand new one it's kernel support might still be in development). Then set up the routing, and put a dhcp server up and off you go. Oh yes, and remember to enable IPV4 forwarding (google it, as I say this is standard stuff).
