Is there a way to define a dojo/method programmatically, in a JavaScript function? (Instead of defining it through script type="dojo/method" within a declarative widget, for example.)

Just override it directly on a widget. For example, if you wrote dojo/method for abc, do it like that:

var myWidget = ...;
myWidget.abc = function(/* args from dojo/method */){
  // the body of dojo/method
};

Maybe the best option in your case is extend widget prototype, do it like that:

dojo.require("dijit.OneDijit");
dojo.extend(dijit.OneDijit, {
 newMethod:function(/* method args  */){
 // body of method
 }
});
