I have never tried such but grimpsed the PCI framework, 
I propose the following, though I don't imagine why you want 
to do so:

Your driver have to contain DEVICE_IDENTIFY method 
that calls device_add_child to allocate device_t object.
Then you allocate 'struct pci_devinfo' and initialize 
pci_devinfo as you like. And you have to make your 
driver as a module. Then a device object will show up on 
the device tree on your system.

You may want to have a look at pci_add_children@/sys/dev/pci/pci.c
