Set up a dummy IAP:

gconftool -s -t string /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/DUMMY/type DUMMY

When the browser asks you to connect to an access point, select DUMMY. Packets
will be routed using whatever networking you have set up manually, ie. the USB
connection. (source: http://austinche.name/maemo/index.html)

Your PC will need to have routing, NAT and/or bridging configured appropriately.
