Not really.  It's basically the same as adding a SOA record to your
zone file with any other software.

The mname and rname fields you'll need to explicitly fill out;
tinydns-data doesn't automatically construct them like it does if you
use the SOA records from a "." line.  However, for all of the numeric
fields, you can opt to leave them blank and they'll default to the
same values used for a "." line.
