For additional enzyme specificities there's a page on the SPCTools Wiki 
hidden away that I've used as guidance a couple of times. The enzyme 
definition needs to be added to the code for the converters etc.:

http://tools.proteomecenter.org/wiki/index.php?title=Custom_digest_site

However, I don't believe it's possible to represent (RK not before P) or 
(K) in the code. Instead a semi-tryptic, or a strict-trypsin (RK) search 
might be the best choice?

You could edit the tandem output to one of these TPP-recognized enzymes, so 
it will go through Tandem2XML.
