Would it be possible to use a single board computer, connected in series with the Wii, which was running the correct software, to redirect the traffic from the console to the wiimmfi servers. As a more universally accessible alternative to patching the games/ console to access this service.

No, because the connection to WFC is done over https. The Wii would not accept the certificate of any other server if you tried to trick it in that way. It would realise it wasn't talking to the real WFC and abort.

Sure it's possible, just crack the private key of either Nintendo's CA, or the nintendowifi.net SSL cert
The patching process, while somewhat annoying, could be a lot worse - on the Wii it's very easy, whereas on DS it's annoying. -
OK, thank you for your response.
