Sure you can:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/v3/overlays.html#CustomOverlays
Now, these aren't "custom controls" yet. But you can get them on
specific layers of the map by attaching them in the onAdd function:
var panes = this.getPanes();
panes.overlayImage.appendChild(div);
If you look at the documentation for panes, there are predefined
layers there that you can attach to. If you want it just floating on
top of the map, like the other controls, you may just want to append
it to the map.getDiv(). That's where the other controls are. Then just
give it CSS positioning ("top: 0; left: 0;" for top-left, etc.).
The problem with this is that since they aren't controls, the other
controls don't know anything about what you're trying to do. Since we
only have the gimped control-positioning (http://code.google.com/apis/
maps/documentation/v3/controls.html#ControlPositioning) we can't give
the controls a specific position. The workaround is to go through the
map-div and grab the right control div. This is really hacky though,
especially since the control divs get added after the overlays, and as
far as I can tell, there is no event to hook into that fires off after
the controls are loaded. This API can be frustrating at times!
I am currently using a "control" that sits in the top left of the map.
This is the control: http://nickspacek.github.com/jQuery-PlacePicker/
It requires some more code to make it an overlay, which isn't
demonstrated there, but is fairly easy.
