To do what you describe you would need a daemon running on the Shorewall FW router which will answer ARP requests for <MAC_ADDR> and then handle forwarding the packets as appropriate. However, then you also need logic to handle all the non-WOL packets that will be recieved as well.
Is there any what that you can run wakeonlan on the Shorewall FW router? That should simplify things since that machine will be in the two network segments by virtue of being a router between them.
