Hey, I only said what I thought, I could be wrong! I did read the article, and the letters page itself as well.

They were responding to the question about Perfect Dark and Banjo-Kazooie.
RARE IPs.
Not only the Donkey Kong titles.

Rare's letters page is famous for never giving out any "real" information. The questions and answers are usually intentionally comical, and occasionally give out ambiguous answers to questions to raise speculation that never comes to anything, it's almost never used for actual announcements.
The exact question was: "Will you ever strike a deal to allow games like Banjo-Kazooie and Perfect Dark to be released on the Wii's Virtual Console in exchange for something like allowing them to be sold on Xbox Live Arcade?"
The answer was (copied exactly): "As for VC, it's ultimately Nintendo's decision what gets released. Beyond the DKC games we don't have anything in the pipeline at the moment, but that doesn't mean it won't happen in future. OMG CORPERATE ANSER#!1"
Yes, including the last part, that was part of the answer. It doesn't neccesarily refer to perfect dark and it's completely ambiguous, in classic Rare style. I'd love it to be true but I think it should be taken with a pinch of salt.
