I wouldn't recommend it.

If you ever want to do any reporting or query based on these values in the future it's going to make your life a lot harder than having a few extra tables/columns.

Why are you avoiding making new tables? I say if your application requires them go ahead and add them in... Also if someone has to go through your code/db later it's probably going to be harder for them to figure out what you had going on (depending on what kind of documentation you have).
