does it have to be a cd-r?

Anything DreamSNES-related can be asked in this forum, such as general questions about the emulator, how to burn it, etc.

can it be a cd-rw or a dvd-r/rw?

preferrably a re-writable one so i can add and subtract roms as i go?

Dreamcast can read CD-RW with a bit of laser tweaking, but I wouldn't recommend that as it's likely to shorten the lifespan of the drive. It can't read any form of DVD. It might be possible to add ROMs to a CD-R by burning multiple sessions, but I'm not familiar enough with it to know the details that would be involved with that.

Does it make a difference if you burn to it multiple times to add things (if that's even possible)?

Yes you can do that.
