I strongly suggest you read the PDF format paper on the Freenet homepage in the documentation section. Freenet should be flexible enough to operate over radio, but not without some modifications. For example, Freenet currently assumes that it can reach any node given an address for that node - this clearly isn't the case with radio, however the protocol could be modified to handle this.
