I have done a little searching and ended up here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN
which does list a few options for software on Linux, OS X and even Win.

Some other folks from the #centos channel provided this just today
when I asked about it:
ftp://ftp.owlriver.com/pub/local/ORC/wakelan/  SRPM here
http://search.cpan.org/~clintdw/Net-Wake-0.02/lib/Net/Wake.pm  PERL module here

I thought I'd approach the list to see what variety of options folks
have for Wake on LAN tools and opinions about them for Linux systems. 
My purpose?  I just need to send a simple WoL "magic packet" to a mac
mini from the Linux box I ssh to at home.

thanks!
