Maybe you can control environment variables instead? These are
equivalent to command-line arguments.
ERL_FLAGS, ERL_AFLAGS, ERL_ZFLAGS

If not, I would go for non-distributed approach, given that users can
"go distributed" by themselves.

$ erl
Erlang R15B02 (erts-5.9.2) [source] [smp:2:2] [async-threads:0]
[kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V5.9.2  (abort with ^G)
1> net_kernel:start(['t@REDACTED', longnames]).
{ok,<0.34.0>}
(t@REDACTED)2> erlang:set_cookie(node(), yadda).
true
