I have to admit that I don't know how to modify any of the Alfresco/Share interfaces yet, but…

If I were going to take a stab at this without having any background experience, I would start by reading up on the JavaScript People API here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/3.3_JavaScript_API#People_API

I haven't played around with anything like this, but I imagine that you could use Web Scripts: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts

I would try to create a form separate from Alfresco that POSTs new user information to a Web Script, and then have the Web Script handle account creation from there.

Let me reiterate that I don't know if this will work, it's just a guess!!
