Is it possible to add an entry to the bundled Japanese-English dictionary?
I'm using Dictionary version 2.2 (155) on OS X Lion.

Assuming you are talking about the reference dictionary for looking up the meanings of words (NOT spellchecking/autocorrection), you cannot modify that on an iOS device. But in OS X you can add other modules. This page provides some info:

Spotlight can do this. You just need to hover your mouse over the "Look Up" entry:

No: the dictionary files OS X’ Dictionary app uses are read-only, and Dictionary.app does not support annotations. You can create new dictionaries (though that is not a trivial task), but not modify the existing ones.
