Sounds like something you'd have to do with javascript by extending the admin interface's templates. Any other default values are best done by settings up signals for your User class.
On a more general, yet important note, I would strongly advice against making your own User model unless you really know what you're doing. Use the User model inside Django and just let that be what it is. All other bits and pieces such as MacAddress is then put in a user profile class. There's good documentation on how to control your user profiles and how that works.
