There's a callback.  Essentially you can place things in the
'closeall' segment:

    global $MarkupFrame;

    $MarkupFrame[0]['closeall']['yourname'] = '(:yourname:)';

The "closeall" array in the markup frame contains strings to be
added at the very end of processing, as part of the last pass
through the markup rules.  (This is how PmWiki makes sure that 
any tables, divs, and other structures are properly closed at 
the end.)  So, the line above would insert '(:yourname:)' at the 
very end of processing, and you can then have a custom markup rule
to process it:

    Markup('yourname', "...", '/\\(:yourname:\\)/e', "...");

However, it seems to me that this is the "hard way to do it", since
there's already a way to insert dynamic CSS information in the
page header through the $HTMLStylesFmt[] array.  For example, if 
you want to dynamically define a .wikistyle_red CSS class, you can
do it with:

    $HTMLStylesFmt[] = ".wikistyle_red { color:red; }\n";

and it'll be automatically output in the output's <head> section
as appropriate.
