OK, did some checking. SE Linux policy is loaded in the initrd in F-11. The 
reason why is because if its done from /etc/rc.sysinit, then init has the 
wrong context and that leads to lots of problems. So, you would need to boot 
via initrd to have selinux working. The initrd only needs to call load_policy 
and nothing else.

Another approach used back in F-9/10 was to patch init itself to load policy. 
That patch could probably be pulled from cvs.
