I'm sure you can buy an adapter to go from ¼" to XLR. As a matter of fact now that I'm thinking about it here's a link to Musicians Friend where you can get one.

A Shure SM58 doesn't need to be phantom powered. Also, this site might be helpful: http://www.mediacollege.com/audio/connection/xlr-jack-mono.html

By the way, phantom power is only needed for condenser microphones, which contain active circuitry. Electricity is fed through the mic to power the circuit. Since a Shure SM58 is a dynamic, you have absolutely nothing to worry about.
