If you want your macro definition to be passed to the compiler (the equivalent of entering it in "Paths and Symbols"), use an External Settings Provider:
http://help.eclipse.org/luna/topic/org.eclipse.cdt.doc.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_cdt_core_externalSettingsProvider.html
If you want to make CDT aware of a macro that the compiler already knows about, i.e. make it appear in "Preprocessor Include Paths, Macros etc." (not under "CDT Managed Build Settings Entries" but under your own heading), use a Language Settings Provider: extension point org.eclipse.cdt.core.LanguageSettingsProvider (can't find a documentation link).
