Yes, it's possible to set up custom fields for posts so each new post will automatically have those fields inserted. You need to write it as a WP plugin, though, or if not, you need to include it as part of your theme's functions.php file.
Check this codex post out:

Code:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_meta_box

That will show you how to add the custom fields to your post/page admin menus, and then to populate them you just need to add the variable and value from your autoposter to it using the wp_post_insert function.

Recently I wrote this into blogsense to handle automatic custom fields for images only.

I use this to post videos to a blog using a tube theme, the tube theme uses custom fields

Here is a short example of what I use

Code:

$success = wp_insert_post($post);
				
if (!$success) 
	$errmsg[] = "Failed posting from $name";
else
{
$errmsg[] = "$name successfully processed $success";
//update custom_fields based on NTS file
add_post_meta($success, 'thumb', $thumb);
//add_post_meta($success, 'duration', $duration);
$results++;
}

I insert a new post and if successful I then add the custom field, in this case its a thumbnail of a video
