Okay, so you’d like to boycott PayPal, MasterCard, et al, for their craven bullshit treatment of Wikileaks, but: a) you want to donate to Wikileaks b) you’d like an alternate way to pay for other things online so you can avoid giving dough to PayPal, MasterCard, et al.
Let’s handle the first question: You’ve still got options. Pirate Bay’s co-founder has made his site Flattr available to Wikileaks supporters for quite some time now. And of course there’s http://wikileaks.org/support.html itself.
As for the second question: Here are a few PayPal alternatives for e-commerce. Just a caution: Not all of them are good substitutes. For instance, Moneybookers and Amazon have joined PayPal and MasterCard in screwing Wikileaks, and some of the others may not be to your liking. But check them out, and let me know if there are good alternates to add to this list.

You can post a donation via good old fashion postal mail to:
WikiLeaks
(or any suitable name likely to avoid interception in your country)
BOX 4080
Australia Post Office – University of Melbourne Branch
Victoria 3052
Australia
This is rapidly turning into CIA/DoD/mercs vs. University of Melbourne.

Opening governments is rough work.
BTW: mail a brown paper bag of folding money — safest. Australians have long memories, still pissed at getting their guys killed in Iraq with the bogus WMD scam.
