Interesting. The alternative will be for me to 'dress up' my mediawiki registration page so that it looks similar to the rest of my (flash based) UI. Then I'd do a pop up to that page or a forward to that page from my client to enable registration...
Is it easy to modify the front page of mediawiki, like changing background color, header images etc? Or will I need to do some php and screen scraping?

You don't need to modify the registration page. You can create a form with the same fields and post it to the signup page (unless you're using a captcha). What would need to be customized is the "Ok, you're registered" page (and the error messages).
Having your use case, it may be worth adding it.
For the record, there's an old proposal about how it could work at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit_-_Register_new_user
