A 'modprobe 'tun' in the startup script and then checking if /dev/net/tun exists ought to be enough. That'll work with standard kernels (just tested), custom kernels which have it modular(just tested), customer kernels which have it inbuilt (untested). It won't work for custom kernels where the default is not to build tun (also not tested) and the check for /dev/net/tun should catch those anyway.
