No, you can't "create new goals using XML". And this is not "wicked lame" -- its a good thing for people who care about consistent and repeatable builds across their organization.
You can however bind multiple occurrences of the antrun plugin (with varying configurations) to multiple phases if you need various things done automatically at various times in the build. Or you can use profiles as I suggested and call a specific Antrun execution. Maven is not Ant. If you want to use Ant, then just use it instead.
