In the QGIS installation folder there's a subfolder called svg. Any svg
files you place in there will be picked up the next time QGIS is started
 and show up in the symbol picker.

That's the current way I do it, in the future I hope we can make it easier.

Thanks,
Alex

PS: Need help making an svg, I recommend Inkscape.
