I've never used WoL but I thought that a magic packet containing the target host's MAC address has to be broadcast to trigger a WoL event (if just any old broadcast packet triggered wakeup, then no host would ever get to sleep).
The Raspbian repo has at least two packages which can send the magic packet: etherwake and wakeonlan. Neither is installed in moOdeOS by default, so a little sudo apt-get install action would be required on your player. More to the point, I'm uncertain how either of these would be tied into the use of moOde with your NAS.
On the NAS end, you may need to do a little configuration as well, depending on the OS involved. You didn't mention what NAS software you intend to use. I expect search engines will be your friend. For example, I just found an entry on the Debian Wiki (Raspbian is based on Debian) which has some helpful details: WakeOnLan
These days it takes very little effort to spin up a NAS so like @CallMeMike I'd say just try it and see with a bare-bones configuration to avoid wasting effort if it doesn't pan out.
Just my two-cents worth.
