I haven't played much with it, but my laptop purports to have recently installed a thing called ifplugd which detects when I plug in an ethernet cable and runs dhcpd when I do. It's all ready to go in the initscripts package currently in mandrake cooker. Anyway, it might be a solution - ifplugd would probe the device, which would get the module loaded (assuming your modules.conf is configured and so forth) and once it figured out it was plugged into something it would set up the interface with dhcp.
