The Wii remote communicates over Bluetooth. I don't think there is a way around this fact (short of modifying the device), thus ruling it out as a legal input device.
I found an article detailing the internals of a Wii remote that you might be interested in:

If you're looking for motion tracking, I believe the Cypress I/O module has a built in accelerometer. You might be able to use that as a starting point for a custom input device.
