I think you could maybe just snoop for ARP - when you see something trying to discover the IP wake the machine up. Supposedly some Intel NICs [0] already support this, though they also wake on multicast which you wouldn't want here.

Thinking of Icinga or other monitoring tools, they would trigger such a request everytime.
