It sounds like you should be able to put your script in /lib/initcpio/hooks and maybe a detection script for it in /lib/initcpio/install. Then add it to HOOKS in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and rebuild the initramfs with "mkinitcpio -p kernel26". This is provided by the mkinitcpio package. I've never actually done this myself, so hopefully someone more knowledgeable will come by.
