Just use role_column!

Giving the name of your subroutine/method as role_column, and making
sure it returns a suitable space- or comma-separated list of role
names, should be sufficient (a quick check of the code in
Catalyst::Authentication::Store::DBIx::Class::User shows it just calls
the method if it exists, it doesn't actually need to be a column
accessor).

Waiting to be proven wrong if there's code anywhere else checking that
it's actually a column ... :o)
