Is there a way to allow an application which has bound to wlan0 (192.168.0.202) and an application bound to eth0 (192.168.0.238) both have access to the internet at the same time, and not require an application to bind to a different local address?

I'm not sure exactly what you want to have happen here.. if an application is making outbound connections it has to effectively use one interface or the other. If you want to switch between the two of them automatically, something like NetworkManager(http://people.redhat.com/dcbw/NetworkManager/) may work, however it's not going to be seamless (as in, preserving open connections), since the IP addresses are different..
