Creating a custom SSRS control

Is it possible to create a custom third party for Reporting Services?

The Dundas chart controls are an example of this however I am unsure if support for these have been internally built into SSRS..

Yes.

After consulting google I've found that SSRS has CRIs (Custom Report Items). These can be created in a .NET language by implementing the ICustomReportItem interface (for the rendering) and inheriting from the CustomReportItemDesigner class (for the designer). These use the Microsoft.ReportDesigner and Microsoft.ReportingServices.Interfaces namespaces.

There is also a restriction in CRIs that the end output needs to be an image. This would make any interactivity very difficult.
