I haven't tried this, so there's a chance that doing so may cause dandruf, your car to catch on fire, or the sky to fall but it looks like editing kicad/share/template/kicad.pro directly to add your custom libraries might do the trick. The down side is that installing a new version of Kicad would probably overwrite your edits. I just keep all my self-build outlines and modules in a "local.lib" or .mod and then add those to the new projects.
