Sorry I didn't get a chance to respond to this sooner, really busy lately ;).
Yes, you can add regular servlets normally, just put then in your SOURCE web.xml and away you go. (Don't put them in the module as you note.) As an aside to this, one other thing I would mention here - in general I probably would not even package my REST impl along with my GWT code. Just make it a separate project on it's own completely independent of GWT stuff (it's own WAR, etc - mock it for tests at the GWT level, at deploy time the service calls just go to that server impl).
