Theoritically speaking it is possible that the Wii could have a firmware update which enabled it to play HD-VMD but I think it is fairly unlikely.
I don't know anything about HD-VMD so I can't say much about it, but I suspect that the 30GB per side comes from a quad layered DVD which is more dense (in data storage) than a conventional DVD. Depending on how they achieved additional layers and increased data density would really determine whether this was plausable ...
