At least SuSE does provide a file rc.boot that is one of the first things 
called at startup (if not *the* first). They also had rc.local which was a 
free-for-all for system-local changes, no SuSE stuff in it. Don't ask when 
that was called, though.

OTH, using runlevels *does* involve quite some complexity. Is there a big 
demand to change runlevels on-the-fly regularly? Why would one? (that's not 
rethorical, I honestly don't know)
