Basically, just convert your inittab line to a event.d file...  upstart
documentation shows how to do that...  In fact, I thought Ubuntu even
contained a utillty to convert inittab files...

Here's one I use on my desktop to play with:
	root@corn:/var/spool/hylafax# cat /etc/event.d/faxgetty-ttyIAX0
	# ttyIAX0 - IAXModem

	start on stopped rc2
	start on stopped rc3
	start on stopped rc4
	start on stopped rc5

	stop on runlevel 0
	stop on runlevel 1
	stop on runlevel 6

	respawn exec /usr/local/sbin/faxgetty ttyIAX0 | logger -t 'ttyIAX0-FaxGetty-STDOUT' -p local2.debug 2| logger -t 'ttyIAX0-FaxGetty-STDERR' -p local2.warn
