You sure can.

Pop open the "epsg" file in your PROJ installation, e.g. 
/usr/share/proj/epsg

Add a new record containing your projection's setting and your choice of 
EPSG code. EPSG codes above 1000000 are reserved for this sort of thing.

Then use the projection as usual:
PROJECTION
   "init=epsg:1234567"
END
