You could just extend  DefaultBootstrap and add what you need.  Or you 
can load additional config files at anytime using an XMLConfigurator, as 
you noted.  This is essentially all that the DefaultBootstrap does:


Class clazz = Configuration.class;
XMLConfigurator configurator = new XMLConfigurator();

for (String config : providerConfigs) {
   configurator.load(clazz.getResourceAsStream(config));
}


That shows loading via an InputStream from files located as resources on 
the classpath.  XMLConfigurator also has methods of loading via a File 
and via a DOM Document.

All the XMLConfigurator does is call methods and change config state 
that is stored in the static Configuration class.  Therefore, you can 
also add/remove providers and other config info programatically by just 
calling methods on that class directly, for example:

Configuration#registerObjectProvider(QName providerName, 
XMLObjectBuilder builder, Marshaller marshaller,
 Unmarshaller unmarshaller, Element configuration)
