I'm not very familiar with gdal2tiles, but why couldn't it use WMS as a source 
? If you set up correctly the XML description file like described in 
http://gdal.org/frmt_wms.html then it should be considered as a valid GDAL 
raster. The only point of doubt I have is the performance.

Best regards,
