all you have to do is first make a copy of the original report file
and stash it away somewhere. Then edit the existing report file,
restart gnucash to test your changes. simple.

Have you looked at the advanced portfolio report yet? The basis stuff
is calculated very simply and should be easy to add in to the balance
sheet. But (!) the balance sheet is built differently... you might
have to dig into the html report libraries. I am willing to help in
this effort in two ways: 1) help keep you pointed in the right
direction in that code and 2) help factor out the basis calculations
into a separate library for use by any report. The second has been on
my to-do list for a while, though I've got almost zero time to work on
it at the moment.
