Try editing /etc/rc.d/init.d/shorewall and changing the line:
# chkconfig: - 25 90
to
# chkconfig: - 55 90

Then do:
# chkconfig --del shorewall
# chkconfig --add shorewall
# chkconfig shorewall on

That should fix the position for all runlevels.

(I'm assuming you're running the Extras version of shorewall, which is
the one I use on my firewall).
