Assuming that you're not looking for an elegant solution, you could
figure it out in the start script and pass it to Squeak as a command
line parameter.

  #!/bin/sh
  INTERFACE=eth0
  IPV4_ADDR=`/sbin/ifconfig $INTERFACE | grep 'inet addr' | cut -c21-34`
  echo the IP address on interface $INTERFACE is $IPV4_ADDR
  /usr/local/bin/squeak myimage.image $IPV4_ADDR
