See, we were thinking of staying in Cusco several days, but doing MP all in one day.
IncaRail has an "All Inclusive package" that takes care of your MP ticket, picking you up at your hotel, getting you to the train, getting you on the bus and then a guide in MP, and then the train back.
It still seems like a long as hell day. I'd probably prefer the afternoon train to AC, do MP the next morning, and then go back that next afternoon.
I'll look into Backroads, Cluckster. I have seen them in the past for other trips but never used them

Flying into Cuzco and spending that first night at 12,000 feet is a recipe for altitude sickness.
Aguas is a lot, lot lower. If you don't want to go all the way to Aguas that first night, you can do like we did and do a mini-tour of parts of the Sacred Valley and spend the night at the Tambo del Inka in Urubamba, which is a really nice hotel (and which also has a train station on the property that will take you to Aguas the next day).
We still had altitude problems at Urubamba and (after our 2nd night was at Aguas) in Cuzco on our 3rd night.
