1.  Is there anything that would prevent the addition of a "black
    box" MTS stereo decoder to the audio circuits of a standard TV
    (or is the encoding filtered out in the IF stages)?

2.  If (1) is possible, does anyone know how to do this? Information
    on IC part numbers, schematics, etc. appreciated.

I think this sort of thing would be a rather entertaining project.
The benefits of stereo TV alone certainly don't justify the effort
and buying a new TV soley for  it's stereo capability is really insane!
Nor do I want to but the Radio Shack stereo TV tuner since it defeats
the convenience of remote control.
I am totally unfamiliar with the encoding scheme used and thought this
would be a good place to start.  Thanks.
