Could you be more specific? Are you planning to run Pulseaudio in the
system-wide mode or in the per-user mode? In per-user mode I don't think
there's anything special in systemd - per-user daemons are not handled
by the init program, be it SysV init or systemd or anything else.

If you plan to use the system-wide mode, then perhaps someone can tell
how they have set up their system-wide Pulseaudio in a systemd-based
environment. It's entirely possible that nobody has done that yet,
though, given that systemd is a new thing and the system-wide mode is
recommended against. Have you read the systemd documentation, though?
I'd imagine that it's not rocket science to write the needed
configuration to launch "pulseaudio --system" at boot...
