ASN.1 macros are a real pain in the neck to parse, and anyway you don't need
support for macros to do 1988 MHS extensions. All you need is an
"ANY defined by ID" kind of statement. I speak from practical experience
of having used this kind of feature myself. I'm not sure if anything like
this is in Pepy/Posy though. Example:

ExtensionAttribute ::= Sequence
{
    type                [0] Integer,
    criticality         [1] BitString DEFAULT {},
    data                [2] ANY
    {
        0:              ORName,
        1:              BitString,
        2:              Integer
    } DEFINED BY type
}
