Perhaps I musinuderstood your question, but your question was about Open().
Open() does nothing except running a GetCapabilities() which should not be a too
long operation if the server is normally responsive. There's no progress to
measure. It is binary : 0% or 100%.

And actually, if you provide the full XML, I'm not sure that Open() does the
GetCapabilities() actually. It might be instantenous. I was thinking of the case
when you use the new (GDAL 1.9) "WMS:http://url/to/wms/service" syntax.

But when you mention tile downloading, you are implying using something like a
CreateCopy() or a RasterIO() call. For CreateCopy(), there's a progress callback
that can be passed. RasterIO() has none since it is supposed to be an elementary
operation. If you use RasterIO(), it is up to you to compute the progress.
