I'm wondering if you aren't trying to fight a battle you don't need to. A VPN connection is used to securely connect a foreign network (such as your home) to a secure network (office or school LAN). If you are connecting to the wireless LAN at the office/school, you don't need VPN. If the wireless network is being treated as a foreign network, such as the "guest network" where I work, then you would need the VPN because you are coming from an unsecure network into a secure network.

I can't help with a VPN client for the PPC, I don't know of one that even exists. Plus, unless you can get the network security guys to configure it for you, it probably wouldn't work. The settings and passwords and keys are what makes it secure and I've never heard of anyplace that information is given out to people outside of security...... Sorry for all the bad news, but that is the way it is in large networks.
