In one of the themes I have done so yes, using this in functions.php
add_filter( 'upload_mimes', 'custom_mimes' );
function custom_mimes( $mimes ){
$mimes['webm'] = 'video/webm';
return $mimes;
}
However in the rewrite to wp-includes/ms-files.php, the filter isn't being run since it is "outside" of a site.
The rewrite is also preventing some aspects of the video to be displayed correctly, since it's not being served directly from Apache. This is part of a larger issue.

There is no reference to .webm in core... so you must be filtering the list of allowed file extensions/MIME types in order to be able to upload WebM videos in the first place?
