I suggest to write a Tx_Extbase_Peristence_Storage_SoapStorageBackend 
then. The existing storage backend translates the query coming from a 
Query object into SQL. The SOAP backend does the same for a SOAP call.

By now, it is not possible to replace the storage backend easily. But 
this will be supported in future (did somebody say "Dependency 
Injection"?). Meanwhile you can implement your code inside a

class Tx_MyExt_Persistence_SoapRepository extends 
Tx_Extbase_Persistence_Repository

and then

class Tx_MyExt_Domain_Repository_MyFooModelRepository extends 
Tx_MyExt_Persistence_SoapRepository

If your implementation works nicely we will copy and paste it into 
Extbase ;-)

Jochen
