Yes, only the used lexers are imported from Scintilla. To add a new one, just copy if from Scintilla's one, list it in src/Catalogue.cxx [1] and in the build system and start using it. It's mostly well documented in the "Syntax Highlighting" section (under "Adding a filetype") of HACKING in Geany's source tree.
Feel free to ask about any further details if you're unsure about something.
I'm not the OP, but I am unsure about something--I guess after doing this, geany (with scintilla) would have to be recompiled?
[1] well, actually the best way would be to edit the scintilla/scintilla_changes.patch patch and run the update script, but that's not yet documented and can be tricky if you're not familiar with unified diff format.
