There are at least two ways:
1. create a boot.local file in /etc/init.d & add that statement.  Put a 
symlink to the file in /etc/rcS.d

2.  create a udev rule which takes care of it all.

3.  change fstab for the usbfs:
none  		/proc/bus/usb  	usbfs  	defaults,devmode=[your permissions]

Argueably, the first way is the easiest & allows for additions (I have set up 
several things, there).

FWIW...
