I'd create a function that searches the page for a regular expression,
extract the BBDB search string, and search the BBDB. The results would
show up in another buffer. I'd then add this function to
emacs-wiki-mode-hook.

Alternatively, there's messing around with the <lisp> tag, or writing
a hook function that rewrites a section or line with the BBDB
information.

Hmmm...
