Most distro's don't have a simple place to drop in such rules, at this 
time.  Depending on how picky you are / need to be about when things are 
loaded, and how clean you want to keep your init scripts, you may want 
to make an additional init script for it.  You can pick one of the 
simpler services, gut most of the functionality from the script, leaving 
the start) stop) cases and modify those to your liking.  Dropping them 
into /etc/rc.local will do just fine, though.
