As you have a set of virtual ports to connect using the bridges, why
don't you use a little hack and create a depend() function to insert the
code needed to create the interfaces for the bridge:
# If any of the ports require extra configuration - for example wireless
# or ppp devices - we need to write a depend function for the bridge so
# they get configured correctly.
# This is exactly the same as a depend() function in our init scripts
#depend_br0() {
# need net.eth0 net.eth1
#}
Rather than having 'need net.eth0 net.eth1', stick in the code/functions
that create the interfaces. You can create the bridge then and it should
work on reboot.
