Its very possible. But the thing is, you also need some feedback to know if such checkboxes (or whatever control you've added and/or changed) are ticked or not. And that can't be done (properly) with the current scripting engine as it doesn't support callbacks.
Moreover, you need to be carefull with such things since a messagebox is shown very differently in Vista. So adding a checkbox control in the right place on a messagebox in XP will have a completely different (ugly/wrong) look in Vista....
If you want a "dont show this next time" messagebox, best thing is to create your own Plus! interface window I think, or forget about the checkbox and do as Plus! and many other programs do: add a text "this dialog will only be shown once" and add an option in your preference panel to 'reset' all first-time dialog boxes.
