You can use map editing to add whatever defenders you like (that are in the game.) This includes gnomes, dwarfs, lizardmen, trolls, goblins (bakemono and vaetti), elves (Sidhe and Tuatha), etc.

You can't mod the poptypes though (only choose from the available list), so once you defeat the defenders (say, a pack of gnomes) so if there's no matching poptype then you'd still be left recruiting e.g. standard light infantry.

The non-human poptypes (from Edi's db) are:

Tritons (various options)
Raptors
Lizards
Hoburg (various options)
Shamblers
Vaettir (optionally + Trolls, Dwarven Smiths, or Svartalfs)
Ichtyids
Asmeg
Mermen
Atavi (ape-men)
Pale Ones (Agarthans)
Cavemen
Kappa
Bakemono
Ko-Oni

Also using Map editing commands, you can add certain magic sites that allow recruitment of additional non-humans. Check out the magic sites tab of Edi's DB.

The SemiRand project is an attempt (in part) to create provinces where the recruitables (via either setting the poptype or the magic sites) match the defenders. In addition, some of the custom "Scenario" style maps out there do this too.

Check out the utilities in Ballbarian's .sig if you're interested.
