You can use LEAF Bering, remove shorewall.lrp and use your script instead.
The fwbuild.lrp package could help you there, even if you don't use
fwbuilder at all.

- Install and configure Bering, remove shorewall.lrp
- Get the fwbuild.lrp package from the tarball at
http://leaf-project.org/mod.php?mod=userpage&menu=1402&page_id=49
and install it on your floppy

- Copy your iptables script to your running system, e.g to /tmp/your-script
- run /etc/init.d/fwbuilder install /tmp/your-script

Regards
