Not directly from OpenLayers, but custom javascript code can get you 
there. You can use the RESTconfig extension of GeoServer to configure 
it. See 
http://docs.geoserver.org/1.7.x/en/user/extensions/rest/index.html to 
get you started.

Once you have your new feature type, you can use WFS-T (from OpenLayers) 
to create and modify features. See 
http://www.openlayers.org/dev/examples/wfs-protocol-transactions.html 
for an example which does that.

Regards,
Andreas.
