Look at method t3lib_extMgm::addFieldsToPalette().

Here's some code taken from a personal customization:

	// Add a "no print" and "collapsible" checkboxes to tt_content
$tempColumns = array(
	'tx_customconfig_noprint' => array (
		'exclude' => 0,
		'label' => 
'LLL:EXT:custom_config/locallang_db.xml:tt_content.tx_customconfig_noprint',
		'config' => array (
			'type' => 'check',
		)
	),
	'tx_customconfig_collapsible' => array (
		'exclude' => 0,
		'label' => 
'LLL:EXT:custom_config/locallang_db.xml:tt_content.tx_customconfig_collapsible',
		'config' => array (
			'type' => 'check',
		)
	),
	'tx_customconfig_collapsed' => array (
		'exclude' => 0,
		'label' => 
'LLL:EXT:custom_config/locallang_db.xml:tt_content.tx_customconfig_collapsed',
		'config' => array (
			'type' => 'check',
		)
	)
);
t3lib_extMgm::addTCAcolumns('tt_content', $tempColumns, 1);
t3lib_extMgm::addFieldsToPalette('tt_content', 'frames', 
'--linebreak--,tx_customconfig_noprint,tx_customconfig_collapsible,tx_customconfig_collapsed', 
'after:section_frame');
