I'm not sure that their is a point to doing this anyway.  AFAIK, 
the ikar of saying kaddish is on the day not the t'fillah.  That's 
why l'chatchilah one should say ma'ariv after tzeis on a yartzeit.  
Even if this is during aveilus, I think the kaddish is "credited" 
to the day on which it is said.  Here where one is going to say it 
even before shkiah I think it would be no more of a zechus than 
saying mishnayos and a kaddish d'rabbanan.  (Which is not to 
minimize it, rather to say that perhaps that's exactly what he 
should do instead.)
