Use this to create a module that does that:

Then go to the 'Need add Customer Attribute section'. It's pretty self-explanatory.

Play with it! it's a VERY useful tool. You can see that there is more to it than making a module that provides new customer attributes. Also read up on clearing caches / compilation before installing new modules.
