No, it can't. You gave the reason why in your post:

Attacks of opportunity are not standard actions. Awesome blows are. The two types of attacks are of different kinds.

Things that can be used as an attack of opportunity bear footnote 7 on the table of Actions in Combat, PHB p141: this footnote states "These attack forms substitute for a melee attack, not an action. As melee attacks, they can be used once in an attack or charge action, one or more times in a full attack action, or even as an attack of opportunity."
Something that doesn't have footnote 7 and is defined as a standard action can't be used once in an attack or charge action, one or more times in a full attack action, or even as an attack of opportunity; rather, they can be used as a standard action.
Notice that while Grapple, Trip, and Disarm carry footnote 7, Sunder does not... and neither does Awesome Blow. (Since Awesome Blow does not appear on the table, it would require equivalent language to appear in the text, noting that it can be used once in an attack or charge action, one or more times in a full attack action, or even as an attack of opportunity.)

You could do it with a Readied action.

I believe the feat you want is Knockback in Races of Stone.

Large and In Charge, which can be found in the Draconomicon, allows you to push back someone who provokes an attack of opportunity due to movement.
