Given the following situation: Everything is prepared for "Wake-on-LAN",

remote (root) access to that PC.

Is there a chance to override the "wrong" BIOS setting within a running
Linux, e.g. using the /proc or /sys filesystem, before that PC is shut down?

Afraid not. Once the system is shutdown there is noting left of the OS to
tell the system what to do. You need someone on that site to setup the
BIOS for you. Wouldn't it be better to just leave the system running?
