WRT54G+OpenWRT is probably not the best solution if all you want is a router+dhcp server, dns and firewall. The out-of-the-box solution will do it. Unless of course you want to do it yourself...
The good thing about OpenWRT is that you can install it and use the hardware for something else than the factory programmed functionalities. I recently installed Asterisk PBX on it. It's a quite sweet device. For good or bad, it could run Apache as well (lacks persistant memory space though).
