Well, it was even more of a RTFM. From "/Library/Application Support/ 
cocoAspell/aspell6-en-6.0-0/README" (the *[...]* emphasis is mine):

Now, how to combine the "extra-dicts" option with the OS X Spelling  
pane design is unclear to me. cocoAspell does not offer any GUI for  
this. Nor is it known whether this is possible: the design of the OS  
X spelling service might be incompatible with extra-dicts.
