I figure that's one easy way to enforce it. If the user tries to run off with it, simply make sure it is in a valid contract that you reserve the right to change the settings of the domain when their 24 hour period of ownership is complete.
If they try any "funny stuff", login and take it back, as per the valid contract (you'd have to run it by enom I think too)

Maybe eNom would give it for free under some kind of agreement that it would only be used for this one purpose?

I think you can still make "the most widely owned domain" idea work. Here's how:
You can keep the domain in an enom account that you control. When someone buys the name, you simply change whois info (as well as the nameservers, if applicable) to that of the clients'. However, the domain remains within your enom account, locked so as to keep it from getting transferred. Once the whois is changed and propagates to the root whois servers, then generate a screen capture of it as "evidence" that shall be presented to the Guinness auditors.
We routinely do something similar for our web design clients. While technically the clients own their domains, we have complete administrative control over it, and since the domains are locked, only enom's direct intervention can take the domain from us withoutour consent.
Just in case you have a wise-*** who buys the name, then attempts to use legal means to try to keep it, you might have to work a repurchase option within the sales contract, which the buyer has to sign and fax before the purchase is completed. You should probably work with a lawyer to draft this for you, but I don't imagine this would be overly complicated, and since its for a good cause then you might be able to get it for free.
