I'm not sure if this answers your question but I think you can make 
*any* tag a face tag, as long as you specify its full tagname if it's 
not part of your default 'people' hierarchy.

For example, I have the following tag for one of my cats:

     Taxa/Animalia/Chordata/Mammalia/Carnivora/Felidae/Felis/Felis 
silvestris (domestic cat)/Felis silvestris (domestic cat) 'Mr Mittens'

and I can allocate him to a face as long as I provide:

     Felis silvestris (domestic cat) 'Mr Mittens'

as the tag name.

Hopefully someone will correct me if I've misunderstood. I tried this 
after reading

     "Ensure that the given tag is a person tag. If not, it will be 
converted. Optionally, pass the full name. (tag name is not changed)"

from

     https://www.digikam.org/api/classDigikam_1_1FaceTags.html

and it seems to work fine.
