I don't know how 'secure' your setup is, but I would su to root (or
ssh directly as root) and just issue 'reboot'. This would reboot the
machine. When you hear the BIOS beep, turn the machine off.

The parallel port is a nifty idea <visions of a bank of LEDs> but
listening out for the BIOS beep would surely suffice.

Just an idea. :)
