It's been a while since I've applied for an ASN...but used to be you just
put on the form that you've ordered connectivity from multiple providers
with the intent of multihoming, and that was good enough for ARIN. If
that's no longer good enough, I would think any understanding provider
would let you setup the peering connection first, assign it a /30, and
then wait for you to get your ASN to do the BGP part.
