Sounds like a good candidate for having a:
class PoincareBirkhoffWittBasisOfFreeAlgebra(CombinatorialFreeModule):
...
and making your change of basis function into a morphism. And possibly
a shortcut:
sage: F = FreeAlgebra(...)
sage: PBW = F.poincare_birkhof_witt_basis()
In the long run, if more bases come in, you might consider having a
"FreeAlgebraWithRealizations" similar to Sym with its several bases.
A natural starting point in the documentation is:
http://combinat.sagemath.org/doc/thematic_tutorials/tutorial-implementing-algebraic-structures.html
with its prerequisite:
http://combinat.sagemath.org/doc/reference/modules/sage/modules/tutorial_free_modules.html
Good luck!
