The new SmartDashboard will support extensions. As long as it does not break any explicit rules (none that I know of), it will be possible to create a custom widget which reads keyboard values and sends it back to the robot using the new NetworkTable protocol. All in all, that means approximately 20 lines of code (besides the boiler-plate class definition), and a few on the robot depending on what control you want.
