As already suggested, use the files/ directory to include files.

$ cd openwrt # change to the root of your OpenWrt build environment
$ mkdir -p files/etc/uci-defaults
$ mkdir -p files/etc/config

Now you have two options.

1. Put your complete working /etc/config/network file in the files/ 
tree, so it resides at files/etc/config/network.

2. Write a script with the UCI commands needed to change your config, 
and put it in files/etc/uci-defaults. I name mine e.g. 
zzz_33_device_config, so that they are executed as late as possible.

The commands you would need for option 2 is probably:

uci -q set network.wwan=interface
uci -q set network.wwan.proto='dhcp'
uci -q set network.wwan.ifname='usb0'
exit 0

This is very simple, you may want to script checks to ensure the script 
is running on correct device (e.g. by checking for a MAC address), and 
if the usb0 device exists.
