Search for use of "eval-after-load" and you will find much discussion.

For example I routinely do things like this:

(eval-after-load 'text-mode
  (add-hook 'text-mode-hook
	    (lambda ()
	      (abbrev-mode 1)
	      (auto-fill-mode 1))))

I think you should be able to map that example into something useful
for your mode case.

Most configuration variables are already buffer local.
