You can do it in the manage_afterAdd() method of your class:

---CUT---
def manage_afterAdd(self, item, container) :
	# create the role only if it doesn't exist (acquisition)
	if "yourrole" not in container.valid_roles() :
		self._addRole("yourrole")

	#
	# here you may need to call the manage_afetrAdd() method
	# of you base class
	# e.g.: Folder.manage_afterAdd(self, item, container)
---CUT---

So the role will be created in your instance during its creation, but only
if doesn't exist yet (or can't be acquired from the above level).

hoping this will help.
