You'll need to some .bst hacking, but it shouldn't really be too difficult.
You'll need to define counters and then for each publication type step
them - then where BibTeX puts the closing \end{thebibliography} print them
out.  Alittle read of btxhak.dvi (should be there in a MiKTeX setup) would
help.
