I have worked on this issue in the past for myself. Never really got it 
completed. However, your email has me interested again and this is good 
weekend to work on this.

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.
