BTW, technically a dll is registerable if it exposes DllRegisterServer and DllUnregisterServer at least.
I'm not sure to understand what you excatly want the manifest tool to do for you but reading this can help probably : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173402(VS.80).aspx
You can for example specify what dll you program is supposed to use even by specifying the version, you can launch a script to register some dll on the machine...
On the other hand, you can also work with a setup project to install your application correctly and if the dll you use isn't registrable that doesn't prevent your application to use it of course.
