It's already possible. Sub-class your lexer and do something like...

const char *MyLexer::keywords(int set) const
{
     if (set == dynamic_set)
         return dynamic_keywords;

     return QsciLexerAVS::keywords(set);
}

void MyLexer::loadKeywords(int set, const char *keywords)
{
     dynamic_set = set;
     dynamic_keywords = keywords;

     if (editor())
         editor()->setLexer(this);
}
