If there aren't too many fields, it might just be easiest to put them all in auth_user and just make some conditionally readable/writable depending on the type of user. Otherwise, you could create separate profile tables and have them reference auth_user. In that case, you would have to create your own register/profile actions, as web2py Auth won't handle the separate tables for you.
Finally, it might be possible for you to conditionally change the names of the Auth tables based on user type: http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/09/access-control#Renaming-Auth-tables. However, you would have to be able to identify the user type *prior* to registration/login (e.g., based on some identifier in the URL), as the Auth table names must be determined in order to process any Auth actions.
