Not really, no. The app_label is processed when the file is imported (because that's when the Model's __new__ method is run). The proper solution here is for Django to work out the app_label more appropriately in the automatic case -- perhaps walking up the module tree until it hits something an app name. Fixing the real problem correctly would be a better use of your time than trying to hack it like this, I suspect (plus -- added bonus -- helping everybody). Note that when people have tried to do this in the past, they've always forgotten that directories can be nested to arbitrary levels and only allowed one extra directory level, which isn't acceptable.
