There is an ability to use the Other resource for the purposes of defining custom resources - almost all of the elements are extensions and you use a code to identify what "kind" of resource it is. Anyone can define a local code for a custom resource.

See extensibility first - http://hl7.org/implement/standards/fhir/extensibility.html - you can add extra content, and it sounds like this is what you want.

There's no formal support for adding additional new types of resources - that's something that's planned but not done yet.
