Greg, here is how you can do it. You need to add the field to the products object:
Go to your name | Setup | App Setup | Customize | Products | Fields
Click on New in the Product Custom Fields & Relationships section.
Create your new field. It needs to be Number, Text, or email to be an External ID. In your case, I would think you would want to set this to be a number.
Click Next
Fill out the required fields
Check the box next to External Id that says Set this field as the unique record identifier from an external system.
Click Next
Set your field security
Click Next
Add to the page layout, if desired
Click Save
Your next external ID has been added to the Product table. You should be able to use this field in your price books.
