Yes, this is a possibility. I had the code in a separate sh file, and called it from rcS. But whatever you do to the rcS (take care, a mistake in this file might force you to factory reset the device), you have to copy KoboRoot.tgz (linux is case sensitive) that contains the modified etc\init.d\rcS (the other files and folders are not necessary for our purpose) to the folder .kobo of the device.

Exactly, you create the folder in the root directory of the user partition.

I am not sure what you mean. You copy your custom dictionaries, which are zip files, into the folder costomdict.

Since I never synchronize with the kobo server, I do not any longer need to worry about such things. But if I did, I started the script now from KSM. This is of course overkill if you are only interested in preserving your dictionaries.
You might also be interested in the posts 18, 19, and 23 of this thread.
