WLan USB Stick?
depends on what usb stick we are talking about
checkout ndiswrapper, ive successfully have set it up with a Netgear WG121 card, although transfer speeds will be better on lan by far
search is your friend

ndiswrapper is free, gentoox supports usb wifi devices yes, however you will need to recompile the kernel to support wifi, and have a module to work with your device.
It isnt going to be a plug n play type of setup, i suggest you checkout either your device mfg to see if they have a linux src drivers or checkout http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/

I have a Microsoft MN-510 USB adaptor (it's not a stick though) working with the linux-wlan-ng drivers. I can't get WEP to work, but apart from that, it works just fine (if you do decide to use the linux-wlan-ng drivers, you may have to use dhcpcd to get an IP for your wireless adaptor, I couldn't get ifconfig to give me an internet connection, although local connectivity was fine).
Here is a list of wifi adaptors that work with the linux-wlan-ng drivers. The Dlink DWL-122 is in stick form if you really want one you can put in your pocket.

you might have to run iwconfig to set your accesspoint if your going to use static ip, if you have /etc/conf.d/net set with your static ip, and the gateway at the bottom set to the correct device it should work out fine, i had a Netgear WG121 setup with static ip it worked great
if you want it to iwconfig you to an access point try doing something like this
cp /net/init.d/net.eth0 /net/init.d/net.{device}
pico -w /net/init.d/net.{device}
and add your "iwconfig" command on the line just after "start() {" thats what i had to do for my wifi to work for every boot
dont forget to rc-update add net.wlan0 default (perhaps even remove net.eth0 too
