I was about to suggest preseeding as well - works great if you combine
it with pxelinux, even if you need to set up a DHCP server on a small
subnet only for that purpose. But if it doesn't, your option is a
script - try some scripts/rules from ifupdown* packages and/or maybe
combined them with one of the IP autoconfig utils found in Debian.
