Is it possible to have a Custom Field populated by info from a database or
something along those lines? I’d like to be able to define it as a
dropdown box that the user can pick an item from, but am not finding any
docs on how to go about this… figured I’d ask before going to read the
source. 
Thanks for any pointers!

That is a feature of RT 3.8. I will be looking to back-port
it into 3.6. Not sure how soon though…

Yes.
And if you backport it to 3.6, maybe I can backport it to 3.4

If your just needing this for GUI support in 3.4, its pretty simple to do,

Even simpler in 3.6 with new callbacks, which could be
back-ported to 3.4.
