Actually, yes, this is what OmegaWiki is about, but OmegaWiki is only one possible implementation of Wikidata.
The "Wikidata extension" is in fact more generally about replacing a standard wiki page, where you write everything in one field, with a structured data wiki page, where you have many fields of different types (text, checkboxes, comboboxes, etc. we have all this at OmegaWiki), and where each field is stored in a separate database table.
So, a list of languages/translations in omegawiki could be easily replaced by a list of languages/interwikilink.
However, I must admit that the Wikidata code is very complex and poorly documented, so that it might be actually faster to do everything from scratch for your needs. Furthermore, since OmegaWiki has been the only implementation of Wikidata, some work would be needed to separate what is actually OW-specific from the rest (which is why I am interested in the other direction of contribution, i.e. adapting Wikibase for OmegaWiki, if this is possible).
I'll try connecting to chatzilla on evenings or week-ends.
