Yes it would be a shame if you did something complicated;)

(defadvice dired-next-line
  (before my-buff-wrap activate compile) "With wrapping"
  (when (eobp) (goto-char (point-min))))

(defadvice dired-previous-line
  (before my-buff-wrap activate compile) "With wrapping"
  (when (bobp) (goto-char (point-max))))
