Easiest method:
echo '/usr/bin/myservice start' >> /etc/rc.local

More involved but more elegant solution:
Create an init script like those found in /etc/rc.d/init.d/.  In 
particular, you'll need the "# chkconfig" and "# description" entries 
(see /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd for an example).  Then use "chkconfig --add 
<service name>" to add the init script and "chkconfig <service name> 
on" to activate the default runlevels.

HTH.
