I have been unable to find much example documentation for this method elswhere. If anyone has any better ideas please comment away!

The following code snippet creates a user profile field.

  $form_values = array(

    'title' => 'First Name',

    'name' => 'firstname',

    'explanation' => 'Your first name',

    'category' => 'Contact Information',

    'type' => 'textfield',

    'weight' => '0',

    'required' => '1',

    'register' => '1',

    'visibility' => '1',

    'autocomplete' => '0',

    'options' => '',

    'page' => ''

  );

  profile_field_form_submit(1, $form_values);

To create a profile field which is a select use the following code (the important bit is knowing how to format the options using \n to make the line breaks

  $form_values = array(
    'title' => 'Title',
    'name' => 'title',
    'explanation' => 'Your salutation',
    'category' => 'Personal Details',
    'type' => 'selection',
    'weight' => '0',
    'required' => '1',
    'register' => '1',
    'visibility' => '1',
    'autocomplete' => '0',
    'options' => "Mr\nMrs\nMiss\nDr",
    'page' => ''
  );
  
  profile_field_form_submit(1, $form_values);
