Can you not use the xmlrpc_methods filter called in
http://trac.wordpress.org/file/branches/2.0/xmlrpc.php line 135 to add
your own methods to the builtin XML-RPC server?

This looks like it might help you achieve what you want.

An action here as well that was designed for you to just add to rather
than filter the method list could be an improvement but the existing
filter probably already provides all that is needed.
