Create a new contact name for your wife's iPhone number. "Call Mary's mobile".
As you can see in the first screenshot, you can set a number of email addresses by which you can receive messages at on your phone. However, as the second screenshot shows, you can only have one Apple ID connected to a device at a time.
You might be thinking, "Ok, can't I just add her Apple ID email address to my phone?"
The answer is no. Any time you add an email address to your iMessage account, the email is verified with Apple. If you attempt to add an email address associated with another Apple ID, Apple will decline it and neither iPhone nor OS X will not allow you to add the email address.
Conclusion: Unfortunately, there is no way to do this with iPhone or OS X. You could do what was previously suggested and set up a secondary account on your Mac (if you have one) and link that account to her Apple ID and use Message there to view the exchanges, but to specifically answer your question, OS X does not accept more than one Apple ID for iMessage per user and iPhone does not accept more than one Apple ID for iMessage either.

No - the iCloud section of the Settings app only allows for one account on iOS 5.
You can however add as many iCloud accounts to the Mail, Contacts, Calendars as you have time to set up. You will see that you can enable the majority of the services on each subsequent non-main iCloud account.
The following items work only on the main account:
The following item is exclusive - any one (but only one) account can have:
For example, I use one iCloud account as my primary personal account and have a second account for a consulting business. Here is what that non-main account looks like when set up.
