Is there anything hardware wise that would prevent me from swapping the 3G modem for a WiFi one? I know most of the code is open source so I'd just need to get a correct WiFi driver running on the Linux part of the Kindle.

For those uses, it would not be an inconvenience to have the USB cable connected (to the thing that is the source of what you want to display).
*) Install our USBnetworking package
*) Install our VNC viewer on the Kindle
*) Install a (your choice) VNC server on the machine you want to display.
Done and you didn't even have to open up the device.
In fact, there are several write-ups here on doing exactly the above (what I wrote is only the "Cliff's Notes" version).
