You don't have to.

You can do:

'fields' => array(
   'arbitrary_internal_name' => array(
     'name' => t("arbitrary_internal_name"),
     'notafield' => TRUE,
     // The below isn't even necessary if there is simply no field
     'field' => 'real_field' (OR) => array('real_field1', 'real_field2')
   ),
),

Is this what you want?
