I would suggest reading through doc/README.developer and epan/proto.[h|c] and choosing the best proto_tree_add_xyz() call that meets your needs. Maybe something like proto_tree_add_bytes() or proto_tree_add_item() will work for you, I don't know. There are quite a number of them to choose from, so I'm pretty sure you'll find one that works for you. And don't forget to look at other dissectors in epan/dissectors/ for some helpful examples.
