I had thought about buying this machine. It would have been a further incentive if I could have plugged a wireless interface between it and my computer.

There are lot's of serial modems, etc, which can be inserted in-line into RS232 links. First, you need access to the serial llink.
You could start here (the "official" roomba hacker info page):

Excellent. That page has a link to SCI spec in pdf form. Regular TTL-level RS232 at up to 115200. Good intel on roombavac sensors.
hmmm.... Someone should add speech to a roomba.
