Heya, First of all, please DON'T do this. Keep your entities small and push/pull them from your services. Injecting dependencies is something really active-recordish and you don't want to know the tons of problems you run into with that.
Anyway, the simplest way is exactly to use postLoad, and then attach your own listener that injects the dependencies (Zend\Di may be useful in this case, but maybe a bit slow for you). I may also point out that having the service locator everywhere is just wrong and brings to really untestable code (mocking becomes really a problem).
