In order to do what you want, you would have to extend the .netOrgPerson class. Just as .netOrgPerson extends organizationalPerson. See rfc2798.

Alternatively, for the very lazy.... I do not recommend this, but I have done it. I just find an attribute that I am not using in .netOrgPerson (like carLicense), and use that instead for my own purposes. Very quick and dirty.
