What you really need is some kind of adapter to plug a USB controller into a Gamecube. I'm having trouble finding such an adapter; going the other way around is easier, but that won't work for your situation.

 

Yeah, I know. The closest thing I can find is an XBOX (regular, not 360) to PS2 cable, then a PS2 to GameCube Cable...

If that's really the case, then you're most of the way there. Electrically, the XBox controllers were USB; they just had a funny connector shape. Given this, I wouldn't be surprised to find a USB-to-XBox connector out there, and if such a thing exists then you're golden.

This is the closest thing I could find on sale:

I also found this, but it's DIY, which, while I'm not afraid of doing it, would be harder than just buying the damn thing...

Also, this has a lot of data that seems to be useful, and suggests that the XBOX Controller port is already similar to USB:
