Here's one that is working for me so far in my limited usage

public static class PageCommon
{
   public static System.Web.Mvc.UrlHelper GetUrlHelper(this System.Web.UI.Control c)
   {
       var helper = new System.Web.Mvc.UrlHelper(c.Page.Request.RequestContext);
       return helper;
   }
   class ViewDataBag : IViewDataContainer
   {
        ViewDataDictionary vdd = new ViewDataDictionary();
        public ViewDataDictionary ViewData
        {
            get
            {
                return vdd;
            }
            set
            {
                vdd = value;
            }
        }
    }
    public static System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper GetHtmlHelper(this System.Web.UI.Control c)
    {
        var v = new System.Web.Mvc.ViewContext();
        var helper = new System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper(v, new ViewDataBag());
        return helper;
    }

It won't be as simple as adding a static method if you want to return WebControls. You would have to hook up to the page render.

You just need a static method:

public static string Label(string target, string text)
{
    return String.Format("<label for= '{0}'>{1}</label>",target,text);
}
