Yes, that's what I do:

Netgear GS108 & 105 are both unmanaged switches supporting jumbo frames at <
$50.

I have a WRT54GL linksys router connected to an ADSL modem. Right now all
the 4 ports are occupied by various devices. The primary ones being my
fileserver and my main machine.
Since the switch on the WRT is 10/100 only, I've been feeling the pain when
transferring large files. Both my fileserver and my main computer have Gbit
NICS on them and I would like to take advantage of them.
I've looked around (NEWEGG) and have seen that 4-5 port switches cost around
the 50 dollar range. That's perfect and I can spare that kind of cash.
That being said, what is the best way to "integrate" the switch into my
current setup? Would it be:
MODEM <------------> Router(Port1) <-------------> Gbit Switch
<------------------> Devices?
