2.7 and 3.3 are in bugfix mode now, so they will not change.

In 3.3 you can do

    from multiprocessing.forking import ForkingPickler
    ForkingPickler.register(MyType, reduce_MyType)

Is this sufficient for you needs?  This is private (and its definition has moved in 3.4) but it could be made public.
