Answering my own question:
The widget can be declared as part of the field, e.g.
# Field
class MoneyField(MultiValueField):
def __init__(self, currency=(), amount=(), required=True,
widget=None, label=None, initial=None):
widget = widget or MoneyWidget(currency=currency,
amount=amount)
.....
Or something like that.
