I think I might have found something:
http://gate.brimson.com/downloads/ti_usb_2.6_release_notes-1.1.txt in section 5 it talks about using different PIDs and VIDs.
It looks like the best approach would be to copy the existing driver
and substitute my IDs, like you said.
I've set up my device in OS X already and it's much easier on that
system. I just used the IO Kit to register for notifications when my
device was added and removed; no kernel or device drivers to worry
about!
