My best idea would be to add a hook in yourself, in
wp-blog-header.php. Search for 'query_posts', then in the next line,
add this:

do_action('post_query_posts');

Then you can hook onto this from inside your plugin:

function write_cookie() {
  //your code goes here
}

add_action('post_query_posts', 'write_cookie');

That won't be called as soon as your plugin is loaded, but it will be
executed as soon as $post is created.
