There isn't a way to customize the soft input panel further than the various InputScopes. You could, however attempt to simulate the SIP, but that seems like a lot of extra work just to avoid the ".".

Here is one example that might be of help if you choose to go this route: http://www.silverlightshow.net/items/Windows-Phone-7-Creating-Custom-Keyboard.aspx

Rather than attempt to modify the built in keyboards (which you can't do) or attempt to create a custom keyboard (which is a lot of work to accurately recreate the native experience) you'll probably find it much simpler to just ignore the characters you don't want displayed.

Use the TextChanged event to check for the period and ignore it.
