Nintendo Europe confirmed that only one friend code per console and not per person using the Wii:
Update: Since posting it has come to my attention that you will only get one friend code per Wii and not a friend code per account on the Wii.
"If we chose to, we could allow each family member to have their own account. But that just isn't what Wii is about. To give a very straightforward example, we're aiming at a console for everyone to use, but if we allowed everyone to have their own account, you would need to enter a password to use the console. To switch on Wii and be presented with a screen asking for your user name and password...well for me, that would have been unacceptable. In discussions, pretty much everyone agreed on this point"
