The largest internet game needs about 160K of bandwidth per connection. A wireless network should be fine for a few computers. Make sure you have a very good signal strength because you don't want to loose any packets which may result in sudden high ping rates. Also, the actual server should have a ethernet connection, not wireless as it will handle most of your internet traffic.
Bandwidth is irrelevant for LAN gaming. Ping is king.
A quick test: I get reliable one millisecond pings between my Airport Extreme equipped PowerBook and 10/100 ethernet PC, via my Buffalo 802.11g basestation, so you should be OK. Although Your Mileage May Vary, I'd expect that most network equipment has similar latencies.
