Here's what we've used for wrapping a MousePosition in a BoxComponent:

MousePositionBox = Ext.extend(Ext.BoxComponent, {
    map: null,
    afterRender: function() {
        var control = new OpenLayers.Control.MousePosition({
            div: this.getEl().dom,
            numDigits: 0,
            prefix: "Coordinates (m):"
        });
        this.map.addControl(control);
        MousePositionBox.superclass.afterRender.apply(this, arguments);
    }
});

Applying this to the OverviewMap might just work.
