I really doubt you'd be able to add a pitch wheel without lots of effort.  
You might be able to add a tuning potentiometer but that wouldn't transmit 
midi.  Does the MT-740 even respond to pitch bend data?  If you really 
wanted to be cool you could mount a midi knob box on it and merge it with 
the 740's output.  But the HT-3000 would probably only respond to pitch 
bend, mod wheel, and sustain pedal controllers so it would be a waste of 
effort unless you've got something else to control with it.
