You're right.

In dam/tca_media_field.php you find some predefined TCA structures for special 
form fields to be used with DAM.

The extension dam_ttcontent for example do this in ext_tables.php:

$tempColumns = array(
  'tx_damttcontent_files' => 
txdam_getMediaTCA('image_field', 'tx_damttcontent_files')
);
t3lib_extMgm::addTCAcolumns('tt_content',$tempColumns,1);

The good thing is, when the TCA needs to be changed (and this just happened) 
other extension don't need to be changed too.

Unfortunately this do not work for data structures and currently there's no 
template which can be used. So you have to convert the TCA array to DS XML 
manually. When you're done you can post the result here.
