Is it possible to have my laptop connected wireless, and run a ethernet cable from my desktop to the laptop ethernet port and be connected somehow?
 
Yes cross-over ethernet cable between the PC and Laptop, with the Laptop using wireless to the Internet.
You can also setup your PC for wireless too, either through another USB wireless receiver or shared through the laptop
 
I've got the desktop connected wirelessly, but to install Gentoo linux I need a wired connection. Thanks for the quick response!
 
your net will look like
Code:
modem---router ...(wireless)...laptop---wired---desktop

to get traffic To/From the internet all the way to the desktop, you need to run the
Network Setup Wizard on the laptop and chose the option that has a picture like the
above.
