Algorithm number 103 is a good, and important, choice. The public key
algorithm numbers from 100 to 110 are reserved for this sort of thing
(experimental or local use). It is important to use this range so
that there is never a conflict between a GnuPG with your new algorithm
and other OpenPGP programs.
It sounds like you have a good handle on what needs to be done.
setup_pubkey_table is the place to modify to add a new public key
algorithm.
