Unfortunately the only SRS namespace that is currently supported is 
EPSG:... so you only option at the moment is to create a EPSG:... code 
and add the corresponding definition to your local 
/usr/local/share/proj/epsg file as suggested by Gregor in his previous 
reply.

FYI there is an open enhancement request to support arbitrary SRS 
namespaces that still has not been addressed (and won't be in 5.0 since 
it's too late):
