I was wondering if UBB provides a mechanism for creating custom pages so that I could add pages to a UBB installation and leverage its login mechanism, etc., as opposed to adding UBB to a site with stand alone custom pages?

Yes, there is a sample script and template included with the software that you can use to include your own pages within. By modifying the samples you can create as many custom pages as you want which will have access to all of the ubb functions, login, etc.

It's one of those undocumented things (We will be better at this with 8.0, I promise . But inside the scripts directory is a sample.inc.php file and inside the templates/default directory is a sample.tpl file. Both commented so they are pretty easy to follow.

if you want a good easy to follow example of a custom script, go to UBBDev and download my pJIRC addon and compare it to the sample page; you'll see how to call just about anything

Well, the pJIRC does a better job of showing how things work than the wrapper... Though the wrapper is great if you just want to wrap pages into the UBB with little know-how needed...
. But inside the scripts directory is a sample.inc.php file and inside the templates/default directory is a sample.tpl file. Both commented so they are pretty easy to follow.
