Kinda. Like this?

x.addprop(1,1)
put x

x.addprop(2,2)
put x
-- [1: 1, 2:
Just a couple of things to add to everything that's already been said on the
subject:
1. There's a shorter dot syntax alternative to the addProp function.
By using the syntax list[#prop] = "something" you can actually add new
properties to a property list, as well as setting new values to propert

By the way, I would strongly encourage you to make use of the message

This simply creates an empty property list to allow you to use the
"addProp" function to add to it later.

That initializes the variable to an empty property list. Without that, you
couldn't add items to it.
If it were a linear list, you would use vPDList=[]. The colon tells
Director that it's a property list.

Here's a look at a behavior that would set the default blend of a sprite to
10,20,30, or 40.

-- using Director 8 syntax --
property pBlend, pSprite
on beginSprite me
pSprite = sprite (me.spritenum)
pSprite.blend = pBlend
end
on getPropertyDescriptionList me

Here's another way of doing it if you want to limit the values to multiples
of 10:
on getPropertyDescriptionList
description = [:]
addProp description,#val, [#default:10, #format:#integer,
