That is not quite the way to think about these things.

The Mac-on-Linux is running inside Linux and only has access to the
hardware for which there are
a) drivers in MOL to access (b).
b) drivers in Linux to talk to the hardware.
So: you need to install the Airport on the Linux side. I would search for
the recent thread on linuxppc-user about this at http://lists.linuxppc.org
Then your airport can be used by Linux as if it were a regular ethernet
connection. This also means that MOL should be able to access it as a
generic ethernet connection.
Good Luck,
