Yes, there is a way to do this, although it's currently not
documented. Just create an "sql" directory within your app, and create
".sql" files in there that have the same name as your models' Python
model names.
For example, in the tutorial polls app:
apps/
polls/
sql/
polls.sql
apps/polls/sql/polls.sql would contain initial data. This file is raw
SQL. Usually it just turns out to be INSERT statements, but it can be
whatever arbitrary SQL you want.
The SQL is inserted when you do "django-admin.py install". It's also
displayed for "django-admin.py sqlall" and "django-admin.py
sqlinitialdata".
