in your case (appending star to the label) i would do the following:
// html
<label wicket:id="inputLabel">[label]</label><span
wicket:id="inputIndicator">*</span><input type="text" wicket:id="input"/>
// java
TextField input = new TextField("input", new Model(""));
FormComponentFeedbackIndicator inputIndicator = new
FormComponentFeedbackIndicator("inputIndicator");
inputIndicator.setIndicatorFor(input);
notice:
the "*" between the span tags is not used as the actual output but rather
for a preview if you open the .html file in a browser
