Token Ring is not incompatible with TCP/IP, neither does it have "its 
own protocol".
It's just a Data Link layer just like Ethernet orWiFi, over which we can 
implement TCP/IP.
See more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCPIP

Apart from driver support, there should be no issues preventing the 
usage of a TR adapter.
If you cannot make it work with m0n0wall, you may get an 
ethernet-to-token-ring bridge (might be hardware or a BSD/Linux/... 
machine) to connect the TR part of the network to one of m0n0wall's 
ethernet interfaces.
