As Dustin Graham said, it is very tricky. First steps:

  1. Add new node under global/catalog/product/options/custom/groups. See examples in /app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/etc/config.xml.

  2. Create new block to render your custom option.

  3. Rewrite Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Option and implement saving your custom type options (saveOptions() method) and loading your custom type options (getProductOptionCollection method).

If your custom type isn't very custom :) - it should be enough.
