So after 6 months, we finally got Nethack working on a WRT (tested on a Linksys WRT54G running OpenWRT 
Whiterussian RC4).  You can download it from:

http://www.hackerpimps.com/fairuzawrt/bin/nethack.tar.bz2

The tarball is configured to run out of the /tmp directory, so download it to there and then type:

tar jxvf nethack.tar.bz2

Once you've untarred the file, play the game by typing ./nethack from your /tmp directory.

The game is right around 3.3MB (huge, I know....I'm working on it).  Make sure /tmp has enough space by 
typing:

df -h

before you untar the game.

.ipkg coming soon!!!
