Is there an easy way to wake up a sleeping iMac with an iPhone that doesn't require a whole lot of expensive kit?

I have a couple of apps that I access my imac remotely with which is fine when its on and I use it but if the iMac goes to sleep the apps are useless as they cant wake it up over wifi. It's impractical/impossible for me to have my mac connected to the router via ethernet so I'd have to be able to wake it up over wifi or 3G. This surely must be possible to do but I havent worked out how..

Can anyone help me out?
