again, the trick is adding references to a library without coding it. Tapestry defines in the hivemind registry the service point :
tapestry.parse.SpecificationSource which is responsible for reading the specification from files - I would think that to make dynamic libraries load, you need to implement this service a new: create a single library which is "dynamic", all other libraries will delegate to the tapestry implementation. for your dynamic library, create a specification which is dynamically generated according to a hivemind configuration point. Never done this, but was often thinking about it...
