That's way easier than reprogramming the Pi to be something it isn't naturally - an I2C slave.

UDP sockets are extremely easy to set up and use between the two. It will prevent overloading the RoboRio with data packets and potentially causing it to start missing control packets. Bad things happen when control packets are missed! (Watch 2073 at 53 sec.)
Another simple alternative is to set up the Pi as a USB attached device.
