I was just looking at a very similar problem. After looking through the code, it appears to me that MW just stores a UID in a session variable. So it seems if you modified your login/logout scheme to set this variable, you'd be effectively integrated.
From that point you'd have to decide how to manage MW cookies. I'm thinking about just disabling MW auth cookies and redirecting to my own login scheme upon failure to detect a valid session ID.
Prior to doing this, you'd need to disable the MW new user signup feature, and hack your own new user signup to write the account information to the MW user database.
The AuthPlugin interface has an option for this, I think. It's still a little murky for me.
The thing is, the auth plugin only tells MW if a certain user/password is correct. So I think a user would have to login again on the wiki if they were just on, say, your board.
More documentation on this would be helpful.
