Depends on the board, I've had many mobos which power on when they receive WoL.

Check your bios settings.

Also, you can probably just strap a wifi-capable relay to power pins on your motherboard.

That's a lot more work than just buying a different KVM that already exposes its spare GPIO pins for exactly that purpose. There are plenty of options that come bundled with the necessary cables and adapters to connect the KVM to the motherboard headers while leaving the existing power/reset buttons usable.
