Bianchi San Jose question

I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a San Jose. I have a question, though. I may want to do some touring with the bike in a year or so. Could I swap out the rear wheel for a wheel with internal gearing?

That's a nice touring build certainly. However, the shifter cable has alot of run from the bar end.
