This is my solution:
* uncomment the if statement that checks if the frontend is on the same
host as the backend, and recompile

    diag.AddButton(QObject::tr("Yes, Exit now"));
  //  if (!backendOnLocalhost)
        diag.AddButton(QObject::tr("Yes, Exit and Shutdown"));
 
* use sudo to allow the mythtv user to call poweroff
