Your installer can enable the plugin in Qgis settings from outside Qgis. It's 
accessible from Qt via QSettings as well as directly in the file:
~/.config/QuantumGIS/QGIS.conf 
on Linux and in similar path in the windows Registry.

The only thing you need to do is to go to the PythonPlugins section
and set your_plugin_module key to true.
