You can physically put a wirelessly controlled device inbetween the on button and the mobo. All that turns it on or off is a short signal. 
 

Another thing is that I know there are wireless keybaords that have an on/off button for the computer on them. I would be interested to see how that transmits the data over usb to actually turn the computer on and off.

I was thinking more along the Lines of a remote controller that is connected to the power switch

that would do the exact same thing. If you want good remote control, get a board with impi or a drac or ilio.
