If you word-wrap a preformatted text, then it is not preformatted anymore :)

MediaWiki has a small problem that causes preformatted text to not being 
selected if it is longer than its "box" in monobook. If this is your concern, 
then copy-paste the preformatted text from the HTML source code.

If in general you want to apply some wordwrap in a preformatted text, then you 
need either to find a utility that does this job or write a shell script 
(assuming you work under the GNU operating system), or apply a wordwrap in a 
word processor and then copy-paste the resultant text inside a pre tag.
