Firstly, no, you can't add a custom video codec to the Apple-supplied export component. It is hardcoded to only accept those few video formats. You'll need to make your own custom AVI export component. This has been done before, for instance, both the DivX ( http://www.divx.com/ ) and XviD ( http://n.ethz.ch/student/naegelic/ ) QuickTime components have their own custom AVI exporter just for this reason.
Secondly, you might be better off without Huffyuv. Our good friends at BitJazz have spent a long time working their own lossless codec, SheerVideo ( http://www.bitjazz.com/sheervideo/ ). Compared to Huffyuv, it's faster, already cross-platform and cross-container (works in MOV and beta testing in AVI), and supports a lot more color formats; Huffyuv only support RGB and YUV 4:2:2. It costs a little money, but frankly it's money well spent, especially compared to writing the 3 components you'd need for QuickTime support of Huffyuv (Movie Exporter, Image Decoder, Image Encoder).
Some BitJazz people seem to frequent the list, I'm sure they could give you even more reasons to use their stuff. :)
