Maybe someone else has found a better answer but when I researched this I
found that although dd-wrt can run tor, there aren't any updated pre-built
packages so you will most likely have to compile your own.
Check out the archives for some help:

I still think in the end it's better to run a cheap computer dedicated to
tor than to try to install it onto the firmware. If you do find an easier
solution, let us know! :)
