I believe a Custom Knob can exist anywhere one of the pre-defined knobs can 
exist, since it derives from the same base class.  And, obviously Jonathan is 
correct about the DAG.  I'm thinking though, it might just be possible to draw 
(or at least define) a knob's thumbnail for yourself.  That might give you some 
very limited on-node drawing functionality.

No, knobs can't draw anything into the DAG.  You can draw things into the 
Viewer however.
