I have a wrt54g and a wrt54gs. Both routers are running dd-wrt. What's the optimum way to configure them so that wireless clients can roam between them as they drop in and out of each others' range?

The optimal way is to connect both via ethernet (e.g Cat5e). If you cannot run a cable then consider using powerline adapters. Even a "mid-speed" connection over 100mbps powerline adapters will give you a connection of 30-60mbps, far more than you'll get trying to connect them wirelessly.
Your last resort would be to setup the second router as a WDS (Wireless Distribution Station) where it acts as a wireless repeater. The problems here are that a) every repeater drops the available bandwidth by 50% and b) it needs to be close enough to get a decent signal.

From what I gather from here, https://serverfault.com/questions/33864/how-can-i-set-up-a-single-wireless-network-through-a-number-of-wifi-routers, in your case you need to

Dude I so have that setup, it's cool and pretty easy if you follow this; however, I unlike you, I only have one wireless router running the DD-WRT and my wireless Linksys router connected to the Verizon DSL router-Client mode wireless rocks :-).

You can deploy one as an AP and the other as a Client-Bridge. That is my setup at home.
