You can read up about how to extended the Directory schema here:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/9.0/html/Administration_Guide/Extending_the_Directory_Schema.html

If you are planning on extending objects that are managed by FreeIPA as
opposed to just add new objects in a custom subtree, you may need to
change the way the UI manages these objects by telling it what mandatory
attributes you need to add.

We do not have a clearly documented procedure for this yet I think, but
it is not too difficult to do.

Simo.
