It's possible right now. As an example, GeoDjango contains fields for composite, multidimensional data (spatial points and polygons, for example) [1]. It's also possible to define your own custom fields to represent any data type that your database can represent, including transforming the data type returned by the database backend into a native Python datatype [2].

What sort of "basic" types did you have in mind? Django implements the field types that are reliably available across across all database backends. If there's a specific field type that you think is missing, and is available in a consistent way across multiple database backends, feel free to suggest it -- or better yet, try your hand at an implementation.
