Compression is handled by the FD, so you will find all the related compression code there. However, you will also need to patch the DIR and the SD to recognize the new compression. I was looking into this before, and I probably will again, but the compression code isn't really simple so adding a new compression algorithm would involve lots of new code. This would include a special handler to determine what kind of compression is being used (as right now it checks for whether or not GZIP is on).
Another problem you will probably encounter is that the encryption and compression code are not separated in any sensible way. IIRC bacula has to have a separate chunk of code for uncompressed unencrypted, compressed unencrypted, compressed encrypted, and uncompressed encrypted backup modes. There is a lot of room for improvement here.
