Yes, that's possible if you are willing to do some hacking. You could
first establish the 3G connection normally from the UI and then setup
the WLAN network manually:

ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-Hoc essid mynetwork

After this you need to setup NAT and routing. You can find iwconfig
from the wireless-tools debian package.
