You should be able to swap in any V6 up to and including the 3.5L. From what I understand, the 3.2L makes a nice upgrade in an Accord.

It can be. I was thinking more along the lines of a CR-V, or a Pilot.

You might want to look into a JDM replacement as well. Yes, it'll be used, but it'll also have under 50K miles on it.

Do you think a swap with a prelude would work

If it's a V6, then yes.
