I've just burned half a day trying to find out how to do this so hopefully an end-to-end example (of which there are too few for C5) will save others much time.

This will add a SELECT attribute type to users from your package:

$attr = \Concrete\Core\Attribute\Key\UserKey::getByHandle('providertype');
if( $attr === null ) {
    $attr = \Concrete\Core\Attribute\Key\UserKey::add('select', array(
        'akHandle' => 'userprovidertype',
        'akName' => t('Provider type'),
        'akIsSearchable' => true
    ), $pkg);
    $option = \Concrete\Attribute\Select\Option::add( $attr, 'Apple', 0);
    $option = \Concrete\Attribute\Select\Option::add( $attr, 'Pear', 0);
    $option = \Concrete\Attribute\Select\Option::add( $attr, 'Banana', 0);
        }
