See the http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Plugin_HowTo for how to make plugins to 
add your own readers, filters and other stuff.

Also, to get you started if you want, I threw together a little something.
I attached is some XML for creating vtkParametricFunctionSource objects in 
ParaView3.
The XML gives ParaView3 the ability to choose between vtkParametricBoy, 
vtkParametricConicSpiral, and vtkParametricEllipsoid.  The march snapshot of 
ParaView3 doesn't add this source to the sources menu, but I was able to get 
it in with a toolbar plugin almost identical to the example in the wiki.
