No, it doesn't. I intend to ping dpierron about this once we have a solid custom metadata interface, which we are working on now.

I'm thinking about modifying the source to display my personal custom column fields in the content server, but I'm wondering if you have any suggestions for other approaches to this issue?

Kovid's suggestion is a good one. One downside for me is that sometimes Firefox does not display all the output (I see around 30 books and no 'next page' link), and IE 8 doesn't display clickable links.
I think that adding a listbox containing all the saved searches to the main server would be a good idea and not overly hard to do, but that doesn't solve your problem.
Better would be to add an interface to the content server preferences permitting the user to 'check' the columns that should appear in the content server. I haven't messed in the content server code, so I can't say how hard this would be to do. My guess is that it isn't easy, because you would need to change the javascript book fetch to make it dynamic.
