Upgrade to GNU Emacs 22.0.50 from CVS (you probably mean that you  
have an elderly version 21.3.1, 21.4 is the recent one) and learn a  
bit about CVS, configuring, getting missing software, and making and  
installing free software!

Defvar it in site-start.el! It'll be empty, but it'll be at least  
there! To be prepared for the future you might like to check first  
whether the variable is already defined. If not, create it!

There is, hopefully, a node about Emacs Lisp in *info* (if not, you  
can get it from GNU/FSF). There might be some pointers to answer your  
question.
