Question: Can Webmin be installed on a router running DD-WRT firmware with Entware installed?
Answer: Yes (and I did it)

The Beginning
I'm using a Buffalo WZR-600DHP Router with an Atheros AR7161 CPU (AKA System on a Chip) which is based on the MIPS 24Kc foundation (single CPU, not dual)
There are no OPKG installations available, so I downloaded the TAR file and used the instructions
Well as it turns out the opkg install command doesn't allow for wildcards, so after a quick bit of research, I located a webpage (https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-to-install-a-package-using-opkg-from-a-piped-search-result-4175580790/) where a nice guy named "magische_vogel" had come up with this command;
opkg list | grep WhatEverNamePackagesBeginWith| awk '{print $1}' | xargs opkg install
Helpful Links
Entware Repositories for my router (go up one level for other CPU types)
OpenWRT Repositories for my router (go up one level for other CPU types)
Webmin Modules (No URL I could find worked in making it possible for the Webmin Module GUI to download standard or third party modules via the GUI, all had to be installed from a local directory)
