A straight port of MPO would not be a problem, but revamping the entire game to HD would be a fairly significant undertaking (and entirely necessary if you want to blow it up onto a big screen from its original aspect ratio).

Also, Weedle, consider that MGO was a completely separate component to MGS4, even if the two came on the same disk. Simply blocking access to that content is going to be relatively straightforward, when compared to some minor tinkering to a cutscene, which is already heavily integrated/coded into a final game, just for the sake of a few snap shots (as such, I don't consider this a particularly valid argument, to be honest).

Furthermore, Army's Heaven is essentially the same idea as Outer Heaven. Both gave soldiers purpose, the only real difference being that Big Boss claimed to care for his soldiers, whereas Gene saw them as tools only. Therefore, MPO made Big Boss's Outer Heaven less original, which is one of the story ideas I wasn't too keen on.

I believe the first Novel was also remade to include voice acting, when it was released alongside the second, but only in Japanese. I would imagine that they'd at least include English voice acting for the Western release of the collection, maybe reusing the dialogue from from the actual games, though they might have to do some new recording for the scenes that are exclusive to the graphic novels.
