You can do it through the plugin system, or you can edit in class_bbcode.php directly. I tend to do the latter, so I can specifically control when the custom tags are parsed. Put it in the do_parse method, and use preg_match. It wont use the stack based parsing of bbcode proper, but it should be fine.
