You could give them the userlogin screen from a logged sysop. It only 
differs in having the username/dicussion/preferences... bar on the  top 
instead of Register, and having the username prefilled.
You can hide those details with JavaScript, handling them a fake 
unlogged status to create their account.


PS: make sure they don't do bad things with that account. You may also 
want to remove the extra tabs with CSS.
