There is a Homebrew Channel WAD, but why do you want it? The ELF works just fine.

If you have a chipped Wii. You can download the ISO and install via DVD.

The Wad Manager is run BY the Twilight Hack.

And installing via Wad Manager might brick your Wii.

The Wad Manager is run BY the Twilight Hack.
The WAD Manager can be run by:

• The Twilight Hack
• The Homebrew Channel
• The WAD Manager Channel (installed as a WAD with one of the two methods above)

The Twilight Hack isn't really a necesity here, which is what mousan is asking. However, there is no reason not to use the Twilight Hack to install the Homebrew Channel because they both end up being channels on the Wii Menu, and one might have trouble auto-updating if it is installed as a WAD.

I've never heard of this happening as long as you install a WAD that matches the region of your Wii or use Freethewads on any "foreign" WiiWare or VC games.
