Try the Set-WebConfigurationProperty cmdlet:

Set-WebConfigurationProperty -Filter system.webServer/security/authentication/anonymousAuthentication `
                              -PSPath MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST `
                              -Location 'Default Web Site' `
                              -Name Enabled `
                              -Value $true
