As long as something else hasn't already taken over zle-line-init, you
can do something like

zle-line-init() {                
  if (( set_cursor )); then
    (( CURSOR = set_cursor ))
    set_cursor=0
  fi
}
zle -N zle-line-init

then you can use it like

print -z "foo bar"; typeset -gi set_cursor=4
