Inside /etc/conf.d/local.start (it would be executed at the very end of booting sequence - is that what you want?)

The file /etc/conf.d/local.start says:
| Quote: |
# /etc/conf.d/local.start
# This is a good place to load any misc programs
# on startup (use &>/dev/null to hide output)
|
Is it safe to put this pci command in this file? It says a good place to load MISC PROGRAMS, nothing about commands?

What do you mean 'safe'?
If it is ok to start it as root at the very end of booting - then yes, it is as safe as logging in as root and starting it manually.
How do you define the difference between 'misc programs' and 'commands'?
'ls' is a command or program? What about 'time'?

If you want to run something while bringing net interfaces
up/down consider using preup/predown/postup/postdown
functions (see /etc/conf.d/net.example for details)
I know, that for wireless things may get a bit more complicated
