What are the command lines to manually install subagents in Altiris 7?

You can manually install the sub-agents too, you just need to gather up the MSIs and/or .exes and include them in your build process (VBS, bat, whatever).  The "silent" install command lines are also available from within the console, on the Programs tab of the Agent package.  Typically the Agent packages will be displayed on the Configuration tab under the corresponding solutions in a "xxxx Solution Agent Rollout" folder, and the local path on the NS will be there where you can grab the file from.

which may or may not be useful to you is to create an agent configuration policy\targeted agent setting (v6\v7) based on the creation date of the machine record. You would create a collection\filter based on a query and then could have the agent check in sooner.

Someone did a REAL nice writeup on this option, and if I can find it, I'll edit this post.

The basic query for the "new resources" filter/collection is something like:

 SELECT vr.GUID FROM vResource vr
JOIN Inv_AeX_AC_Identification acid ON vr.Guid = acid._resourceGuid
WHERE DATEDIFF(dd, vr.CreatedDate, GETDATE()) < 5 -- substitute "5" for the # of days you consider "new" 

Hope that helps.  I remember that article too Jim; might have been on Altirigos?
