We have something very limited currently.

In the record cn=ipaconfig you can add the attribute ipacustomfields.

This attribute takes the format (field1 $ field2 $ field3 ...)

Field is a comma-separated value and is made up of:
   label: The label displayed to the user
   field: the attribute name
   required: true/false

So something like: See Also, seeAlso, false $ Country, c, true

Be careful when adding attributes that have additional objectClass 
requirements. If you do this then you'll need to also update 
ipaUserObjectClasses (which you can do in the UI) to include this for 
new users. For existing users you will need to manually add the new 
objectclass to them.

These new fields will then get tacked onto the end of the User pages in 
the UI.
