Users place the tags directly onto the image; the effect is similar to a HTML image map. They click on a person in the picture, and enter the name of the person as the tag, and the coordinates are stored. Then users viewing the photo roll over the tag and see a frame appear over the image at the coordinates specified.
Wikia has an image tagging feature that sounds a lot like what you're describing.
Rather later than I'd hoped, but this is now finally in SVN. It could be useful for Commons. http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/ImageTagging/
There's an example here: http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Sydney_for_image_tagging_demo.jpg
