Even if you could do this, I don't think you'd want to, except in limited circumstances. At best you'd cut the connection speed in half, and with overhead I suspect it would be much less. This is what happens when you use an AirPort Express in Wireless Distribution System (WDS) mode.
There are reasonably cheap USB WiFi cards which would probably be the best alternative. A separate card would ensure that you operate the Mac's network on a non-interfering channel too.
Good luck.
