    Considering the Wakeup frame contains only 12 F's, and then your mac
    addresses repeated 16x, i doubt there's room for it... I'm not sure how
    much skill you have, but if you could reprogram the chipset to accept a
    different frame as the "magic packet" (i.e. FFFFFFFFFFFFMACx16), that
    could be a kind of password, so that only the packet that you know how
    to create can wakeup your machine. I *think* it travels over port 9 so
    you'd have to open that up on your router. if changing the magic
    sequence isn't feasible, you could enable remote access to your router
    (via https or ssh), i don't recommend this method by the way, and just
    turn on/off the forwarding for port 9 and use the regular magic packet
    when you want to wake up your computer. your router should have
    username/password authentication and support either https or ssh which
    would give you the login type authentication you were looking for as
    well as control the exposure of rogue WoL packets to your system (i've
    never seen any myself)...
