This is an excellent question.
Here's my first thoughts on the subject.
I would consider using an "aggregate" product type. Look at the ProductConfig and ProductConfigItem tables. I'd define a new configItemTypeId (maybe Numeric?) that would be a new product config question type. From there, some code would need to be added to the webapp to handle presenting an input box instead of a radio button list. I haven't looked at how configurations of aggregate products are stored, but, sight unseen, I think it would be pretty easy to store a number instead of a key to ProductConfigOption.
Adding multple configurable items should come free with the prior tweaks.
