Hmm for IPMI that might probably indeed be a better way, moreover since they use a parallel subnet on the primary ethernet card... Though it would require the implementation to listen to the same virtual card, which are mapped differently to the host depending on the VM (-net user, ...). As for WOL, it would still be handy to have I think... btw, do we support suspending the emulation via ACPI ? VirtualBox has something called "Pause" mode, which I'm not sure actually if it's reflected to ACPI, which allows to avoid wasting cpu when not usign the guest, though it requires support from the Guest Additions to avoid clock drifts.
