In a word, no.

When you email the documents, you send them to a mailbox at Amazon. Amazon's server then runs something to process the attachment(s), convert them to AZW format and make them available in your Amazon account.

Then when you enable wireless and sync, the Kindle communicates with Amazon's servers to see if there are any new items in your account, is told about the new items, and presumably issues some secure HTTP requests to download them.

Now, your Kindle does not run it's own mail server, so even if you can deal with the format conversions yourself, there's no way to deliver these files directly to the Kindle using a network.

The only way is to attach via a USB cable and copy the files on there.
