Yep, exactly. Actually, generally your distribution of choice provides nice startup scripts to such things; in Fedora, you create an /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 that has a BRIDGE=br0, and an /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0 that defines the actual bridge with TYPE=Bridge, and the system will bring up the bridge at bootup and plug your eth0 into it. I'm sure the other distributions have similar mechanisms.
