No. manage_changeProperties changes only existing properties.

AFAICS the only way to create them is "by hand" from installer code or 
TTW. CMFSetup is broken if you use custom properties.

BTW: Is there any good reason why TI still subclasses 
SimpleItemWithProperties? AFAICS the sole purpose of 
SimpleItemWithProperties is to provide fixed schema support.
