Apparently you can't.

Code references: https://searchfox.org/comm-central/rev/a8f106bd47f2256ec40a6eab8bc4bd1b7e600bb1/mail/locales/en-US/messenger/addressbook/vcard.ftl#12-22

See vcard-entry-type-custom. That is not referenced anywhere other where it's defined: https://searchfox.org/comm-central/search?q=vcard-entry-type-custom&path=&case=false&regexp=false

Looks like it could be added here: https://searchfox.org/comm-central/rev/a8f106bd47f2256ec40a6eab8bc4bd1b7e600bb1/mail/components/addrbook/content/vcard-edit/vCardTemplates.inc.xhtml#406-412

But that would only give you a "Custom" entry in the menu, not the facility to enter a custom type like: Custom - Family, Custom - Club, etc.

Some research would also be needed as to what support is provided in the vCard standard.

Looks like an upstream Thunderbird bug or omission. Please file a ticket at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/.
