I have a FRDM K64f board that is using the nRF24L01+ as it's wireless transceiver.
I want to communicate between the K64f board and my PC locally.
I am struggling to find the hardware needed on my PC's side.
I had thought of using a USB to TTL adapter and connect a nRF24L01+ on the PC side and communicate this way.
Would this be viable?
Or is there a simpler way?

If you have a lot of cash to spare, Nordic makes an evaluation kit for the nRF24L01+, part number nRF24L01P-EVKIT, that should probably fulfill your needs.
However, considering the sparkfun product Andy aka posted has the schematic, eagle, and code files available, it would probably be cheaper to have one of those made at oshpark or similar.
You could also use a Bus Pirate as a USB->SPI bridge, and hook that up to one of sparkfuns nRF24L01+ modules, and write a little program to talk to it through the bus pirate. The Bus pirate has an additional IO pin you can use to strobe the CE line on the Nordic chip.
