That's a cool idea. Just drop a new format file named *_fmt.c in the src 
directory and rebuild. It doesn't even sound too hard to accomplish.

For Makefile, listing object files is easy:
$ ls -1 *_fmt.c | sed 's/\.c$/.o/'
AFS_fmt.o
BFEgg_fmt.o
BF_fmt.o
BSDI_fmt.o
c3_fmt.o
DES_fmt.o
DMD5_fmt.o
DOMINOSEC_fmt.o
EPI_fmt.o
HDAA_fmt.o
...

For the "extern struct fmt_main" and "john_register_one()", this rough 
example line catches all 51 formats I had there:
$ grep struct *_fmt.c|grep =|grep fmt_main|grep -v pFmt|awk '{print $3}'
fmt_AFS
fmt_BFEgg
fmt_BF
fmt_BSDI
fmt_crypt
fmt_DES
fmt_DMD5
fmt_DOMINOSEC
fmt_EPI
fmt_HDAA
...
