Actually, you can just open the MAPINFO.PRJ file in Wordpad and type in the appropriate data according to the format described in the appendix. It's fairly intuitive, I've done it a few times.

If MapInfo doesn't include a projection, you will have to wait until they add it, unless yu know how to hack it in. :-) Coordinates systems, on the other hand, can be added, as the title of the appendix says.
