There are essentially two issues.

The first is how to configure brltty for the user's device, which really only 
consists of deciding which of a few otpions should be passed to it. Does your 
system already have some sort of initial prompting so that the user can get a 
few things configured when it boots? If so, incorporating an additional set of 
prompts to configure brltty should be simple enough.

The second is how to start brltty. Does your system use Upstart? If so, it'll 
be easy.
