You can implement your own weighting scheme just by subclassing
Xapian::Weight - no modifications to the library should be necessary.

For an example, see "MyWeight" in tests/api_db.cc.

Is there something extra you need access to that isn't currently
available?

If the weighting scheme is likely to be useful to others, I'd encourage
you to submit it for inclusion in Xapian.
