No. You can't make the Kindle into a hotspot.

Even if you could, everything has to go through the web proxy servers that stvs mentioned. Your Kindle ID which is specific to that Kindle unit is sent as part of the proxy authentication and if Amazon notice you then it is possible that you'll end up with a $189 paperweight all to get "free" 3G. Its against the terms of use for the Kindle and the associated Whispernet service.
