Yeah, you could do that if you wanted to.  I haven't done it, but you just 
point hostapd to your RADIUS server, which would be the same machine in your 
case.  Keep in mind for multiple HostAP boxes a centralized RADIUS server on 
different box might make sense.

Check out the README file for details on 802.1x and some hostapd basics.  
You'll need to download the new hostapd v0.1.0 package on the HostAP package 
to proceed.  I haven't setup FreeRADIUS myself, so someone else will have to 
assist with that.
