Thereorically, this can be done.
There are wifi controlled power-plug on sales. It can turn-on/off the power supplied to any electric device plugged-in, controlled via wifi.
However, to simulate the power button pusshing on the Mac pro, you would have to hack into both the power-plug and re-wire the power-on switch of the Mac pro itself.

I saw a vid on Reddit which used this smart switch stuck on to the front panel so the little button pusher arm can push the Mac's power button on.

Is there a reason you couldn't have it asleep, rather than off? So you just need to wake it?
