Yes, I am working on this, in between other things. :)
Currently it works to get the skin you want via Java code,
(without looking at it to be sure -- get SkinFactory, call getSkin with
the id)
and then you can say registerStyleSheet and pass in a skin css file
which has your
custom component's skin definitions -- styles, icons, and properties.
This will essentially merge your skin definitions for your custom
component into the skin(s) of your choice.
All components should have a 'simple' skin definition, so you would
definitely want to merge something
into the simple.desktop skin.
The Trinidad skinning keys are found in skin-selectors.xml. I'd
recommend using the same
syntax, since the skinning keys are essentially an API for the end user.
There is currently no documentation on this.
There is a bug where if you use the css namespace syntax like we do
('af|' as in af|inputText, for example) but
with a different prefix ('abc|' as in abc|customComponent, for example)
then it won't parse right. I'm planning to do something to fix this next
week.

Well, that's only if you're building new components for
inclusion in Trinidad.
If you're building your own components, then you'd put those
styles in a custom skin, and tell people to use that skin.
(This isn't totally satisfactory, since really you want to aggregate
your styles into all skins. Jeanne is, I believe, working on
functionality that will enable that for custom component
developers.)

in your renderer, just renderer that styles, using renderStyleCass()
for single clazzes
and renderStyleClasses() when rendering more classes
(for instance, in a disabled case)
