You need to replace CMFDefault.RegistrationTool with your own version. 
You would do the necessary checks in the testPropertiesValidity method. 
I would also store the list of valid usernames and codes in the
RegistrationTool, and add methods to set and get the usernames, along
the lines of 

  ...
  self._valid_users = ({'uid':'foo','code':'bar'},
                 {'uid':'quux','code':qux'})
 
  def getValidUsers(self):
    return self._valid_users

  ..etc..

Then you can provide a management interface to this list by doing
something like

<dtml-in "portal_registration.getValidUsers()" mapping>
  &dtml-uid; : &dtml-code; <br>
</dtml-in>

hth,
