I would also be interested in this, but I would think it would
defiantly be possible via the TTL UART and a TTL <-> Serial cable.
However it would not pretty without someone producing a nicer way to
use the UART than shown at
http://wiki.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Serial_console (via a case mod or
addition).
I've been thinking of other ways that the TTL UART could be used; my
current thoughts are here:

Could anyone tell us the dimensions of the Ben Nanonote battery?

I agree; the above talk link lists 3rd party modules that can provide
Bluetooth, Wifi and Zigbee communications via a TTL line serial
interface, with little in the way of additional electronics as far as
I can tell (but IANAEE :-)
Happy Hacking,
