possible.

At my freifunk community we list up all our freifunk nodes, in one ip
range, let's say 10.27.*.*
So everybody who set's up a node, adds the nodes' adress to the list and
olsrd is doing all the routing stuff, if configured properly. Every node
is running a dhcp server itself for its connected clients. With NAT on
every node you won't run into trouble with double assigend ip adresses.

uhh there can be so many problems. do you see some dhcp traffic with
wireshark or etherreal on both ends (client and freifunk node)? Is the
wireless connection established? Maybe it's a good idea to try it out
with a properly configured accesspoint you alredy own or to work around
all adhoc problems (some chipsets fail with this) do some setup for an
node running in infrastructure mode.
