Getting ready to order four kits from Northern Brewer and was wondering how long the liquid yeast (Wyeast brand) will last in the fridge?

Longest I've refrigerated Wyeast was about three months and it worked great. I always take the pouch out of the fridge the night before I brew and allow it to warm up to room temp overnight. I then smack the pack first thing in the morning and it's always ready to go by that evening.

If you're worried about viability you can always make a starter and just seal/store the results back in the fridge after it's fermentation cycle ends.....this way you're "reviving" and refreshing the yeast.
