With gentoo add "need local" do the depend block in /etc/init.d/monit.
I also had tried "need *" or "use *" like /etc/init.d/local, but at least way 
back in the day it caused problems.
########SNIP########
depend() {
        need local
        use net
}

With SuSE you need to add "Should-Start: $ALL" to the init info block, like 
this:
########SNIP########
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: local
# Required-Start: $network $remote_fs
# Should-Start: $ALL
# Required-Stop: $network $remote_fs
# Default-Start: 3 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 2 6
# Description: Start the sshd daemon
### END INIT INFO
########SNIP########


K?
