There is no reason why it should not work, there is also a report and benchmark of loop-AES on openwrt: http://nanl.de/blog/html/es-ist-getan-loopaes-lauft-auf-openwrt.html (100mb in 5m 32s means a speed of ca. 300kbyte/s, far away from a regular PC) > A popular DSL modem is > the 7170 model from AVM http://www.avm.de/, an integrated DSL modem > and WLAN router with 32MB ram and 8MB flash memory.

You can look for the different fritz!box modding projects to get a compiler and maybe the kernel sources. The last time I opened a fritz!box, it had a 150MHz CPU, which would even further reduce the possible throughput. Some embedded routers (e.g. the Netgear WGT634U) also offer an embedded crypto core based on the Sentry 5 (BCM55xx?) chipset - this probably would highly improve loop-aes speed, but there is no driver available as of yet.
