      I have "Tomato WRT54G" router that gets its internet wirelessly by connecting to another router.
      Everything is on the same subnet, so i can do the following:

      Desktop > Tomato WRT54G(desktop's gateway) > Wireless AP with Internet
      Works beautifully.

      but how can I channel this internet through PF by using Tomato is PFs WAN?

        if Tomate WLAN-AP is doing bridging - and I think thats the fact - than you enter the IP of the router to which you AP is connected as the gateway of pfsense.

          tomato 192.168.1.2

          internet router 192.168.2.1
          router assigns 192.168.2.100 to tomato wireless client

          pfsense LAN 192.168.1.1

          –-----
          on the desktop i do:
          gateway 192.168.1.7
          dns "opendns"
          and voila

          same thing doesn work on pfsense:
          i tried
          WAN IP: 192.168.1.70
          gateway: 192.168.1.7
          no go
