Tom,
There are some simple ways to include a file upload text box on the
frontend,

You can also look at plugins named various versions of " frontend upload"
to see different ways of queueing media for reviews, custom upload folders,
etc.

If you really want to use drag-and-drop or multi-uploading everything I've
seen uses a duplicate Pluploader instead of hooking the built-in one,
http://designmodo.com/create-upload-form/. It should be possible to use the
back end one but I don't know about the security of that.
