What I did (following Pm's advice) was create a file that performs the 
name changes, then include it before calling authuser.php. This file can 
sit in field/local

That is, in farmconfig.php

  if (file_exists("local/fieldconfig.php"))
    include_once("local/fieldconfig.php");

  include_once("$FarmD/scripts/authuser.php");

And field/local/fieldconfig.php looks something like:

<?php
	$DefaultGroup = 'Marc';
	$DefaultName  = 'Notes';
	$DefaultPage  = 'Marc.Notes';
