This might be an odd question as I'm a complete n00b to Arch and package managers though I've been using Slackware and FreeBSD for years (so I can find my way around the Arch system without too much difficulty).
basically I've got Compiz Fusion all set up and running well, but I want to install a few more plug ins which wasn't included with the package pacman pulled (as per the instructions here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz_Fusion )
ones like the unsupported bits.
would these be in any additional repositories? (and if so how do i configure pacman to pick them up?) or can i just download the tar balls and build them myself in the same method i would on my Slackware system?

Do know about the Arch User Repository (AUR)? The link is there in the top right of the page.
There's a package in the AUR called: compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupport. If you don't
have that installed yet, it may contain the plugins you're looking for. You can download
the PKGBUILD from the AUR, build the package with makepkg, and then install
with pacman -U YOURPKG.pkg.tar.gz.
You can also investigate yaourt and other tools that search and build directly from AUR.
