What you're looking for is called 'MAC address filtering' and I imagine it is very doable. Having never done it before myself (with a Gentoo router) the best I can do is point you at Google and wish you the best of luck. It's been a little while since I worried about my WPA2 wireless getting hacked. Apparently, a vulnerability in TKIP was recently discovered that made WPA2 networks using that encryption less secure. It would still take a lot of doing on the attacking party's end to do it though. Have you considered setting up WPA2 Enterprise, with the RADIUS server and whatnot? D
