That sounds quite hackish ;-) and isn't what I would really recommend.

If you don't use the "desctiption" field, you could enter the transport 
information there - that's currently the easiest way I can imagine.

Adding a field to the database and the code isn't too difficult, but 
2.3.x is in bugfix-only mode and otherwise more or less a dead horse.
In other words: Investing time in adding a field to 2.3.x only makes 
sense if you really need it _now_.

I'm currently working on rewriting the code into PHP classes. 
You can check the current state in SVN trunk - the handling of domains 
is mostly done (see *-domain.php and model/DomainHandler.php) and will 
make adding additional fields very easy in the future (see initStruct() 
in model/DomainHandler.php, I'll also add a hook)

However, it will take some time until I get everything migrated.

The best thing you could donate would be some free time ;-) but I know 
this is impossible. 
I won't object if you really want to donate something ;-) but it's not a 
requirement.
