Not without a bit of work.

The NL-3054MP+ 
(http://207.213.242.90/admin/pAssocItem/NL3054MPFrisbee_100.pdf)
is a Prism5 (Frisbee) based design.   While the high transmit power is 
nice, the receiver leaves
a whole lot to be desired, and on the whole, the cards don't sell well 
because they're not as good as a decent Atheros based design.     There 
is no driver for this chipset in FreeBSD (not even in -current).

You might check out: 
http://green.homeunix.org/~green/prism54-driver/pff/   You'll have to 
make it build and
integrate it into your m0n0wall image.  

Note that the Senao NL-3054MP ARIES is an Atheros-based design, and will 
work with m0n0wall 1.2b7.  (I happen to have one in a wrap board, 
running m0n0wall, (well, OK, right now its running -current, but with 
the swap of
a CF card, the statement could be true) about four inches from my left 
elbow as I type this.)

You'll have to decide if your time and effort are worth the price of a 
CM-9, NL-3054MP Aries or NL-5354MP+ Aries2.

probably not.

p.s. while I'm here, netgate also sells m0n0wall powered outdoor 802.11 
units (based on the wrap 2C) as well as
offering a WRAP 1D in an indoor case with m0n0wall preloaded on a 64MB 
CF card.  We call it the m1n1wall. :-)
