If you are coming from GnuCash, Netsuite is probably overkill and/or out-of-budget. Even if you had the resources, I would probably consider Sage first.
Multidimensional accounting is in effect supplementing the GL with additional data. For each transaction, you could have a database table that adds a column for each new dimension. Or if you don't prefer a relational structure, a json object attached to each transaction. Outside of setting that up, the problem probably becomes the user experience ie. how do you add that information at the same time as posting your entry?
If you wanted an even more "hacky" way, you could embed the data into the memo/description field or another available field. Unfortunately, the off-the-shelf reporting would not be useable because it would not know how to parse the embedded data.
Unfortunately, the multidimensional accounting space is dominated by enterprise accounting system offerings. So I don't know of any resources for implementing it outside of switching to those systems.
