Either use the content_profile contributed module, or write your own module that implements hook_user. I think what you want is the latter, possibly in conjunction with webform (to build the form to add to the registartion page).

Subject: [development] Custom registration process
Hello to you all
I'm needing to add quite a few fields to the registration process. Is the native login / registration process easy to amend or would you recommend using webform and building it from the bottom up so to speak. It's seems crazy not to use what's already there, but I cannot see a straightforward way to add to it.
What have your experiences been?
Many thanks
Stewart
