I've had it working for a year or so with the following setup:

In the file /etc/sudoers add the following lines:

Cmnd_Alias WOL     = /usr/bin/wakeonlan,/usr/sbin/etherwake
backuppc  ALL=(root) NOPASSWD:WOL

And change the pingcmd for the hosts to the following line:

$Conf{PingCmd} = '/usr/local/bin/wakeup.sh $host';

I've also attached a slightly edited version of the script I use to fire
off the WoL packets.
