Is it possible to jury-rig Internet Sharing to share a Wi-fian internet connection wirelessly, over Wi-fiwhen my Mac already connects to the internet wirelessly?

I am trying to set up an internet sharing on my Mac so I can have a 'temporary hotspot' with lesser security so I can connect a DS to the internet when I want it, without changing my router's security settings.

The problem arises is that while I'd be sharing my connection over Wi-fi, the way the house router gets to my computer is through Wi-fi. Is it possible to jury-rig the system so that the computer can both sendconnect to the internet router, and receivere-broadcast / share that internet connection to other WiFi clients, from the same AirPort card?
