As a matter of fact there is!

If you go to Start -> All Programs -> Dosbox you'll see an entry called
doxbox.conf open this up.

If you scroll down to the bottom you'll see:

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.

All you need to do is copy and paste the following below it:

@echo off
echo Mounting D:
mount d d:\ -t cdrom
echo Mounting C:
mount c c:\
echo Changing dir to C:\WAR2
c:
cd war2
echo Ready to run War2...
pause
war2

Then all you need to do is save it back, and it should autorun, you'll just
have to press a key to confirm you want to start WarCraft 2.

You can also change the default CPU cycles to be 9000 instead of 3000. In
the top 1/3rd or so of dosbox.conf there's an entry called cycles=3000
simply replace the 3000 with 9000 and save and it'll automatically run at
9000.
