You can use Google Apps Standard accounts or common Google Accounts (e.g. Goggle mail) as well (you have to choose when you setup your app). If you choose not to use Google Apps Accounts for your app, you still can assign it a subdomain of your Google Apps domain.
For implementing your own custom authentication i'd try http://securityfilter.sourceforge.net/ It has a deployment descriptor-like configuration. If you choose SecurityFilter, you should take care of static files because GAE will serve them directly bypassing servlet filters.
