The only option for this on a Rotary would be to add a roots-type supercharger. I thought about adding a supercharger and converting my rotary to diesel a while back, but then I realized that the fuel system development alone would break my budget.

I actually gave thought to the late port close while I was doing my 4-port, I was hoping that the later close that the 4-port has over the 6-port would work to my advantage in the mileage department, but I think that whatever I gained there I gave up in 35% intake runner size increase, polished intake runners, swirl-ported irons and polished rotors.
