I think what you need is described quite well in these articles:

• Custom field type property rendering
• How to create custom editor for field properties
• Custom field type definition
• How to create a custom field control
• A blog post about creating and registering a custom field type, but this does not show how to create the field editor (and another one)
• This covers both field creation and editor control
