dd-wrt gives you a lot more control over the ports, as does openwrt. >From a hardware perspective, the wrt54g has a single ethernet port behind a tagging switch. Packets are tagged with the port # when they come in, and the kernel has the ability to then create virtual interfaces based on the tagging. From a hardware standpoint, there's nothing special about the WAN port.
With openwrt, you can do anything with the hardware.
