Assuming OVS is already installed (which you can handle via various 
configuration management tools or scripts), then you have a few methods to 
"bootstrap" the OVS configuration:

- Integration of OVS into /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* files (on 
RHEL/CentOS/Fedora) or into /etc/network/interfaces (on Debian/Ubuntu)

- Passing a script into the system (again via various configuration management 
tools) that programs OVS via ovs-vsctl or other commands

- Using a controller to pass down switch configuration via OpenFlow

There may be others, but these are the ones that jumped to mind immediately.

AFAIK, there is no built-in way to use PXE/TFTP to have OVS fetch an initial 
configuration.
