I think you should add that stuff *after* killing all the daemons so
those daemons can write any final stuff to disk as they exit. Just for
fun, you might want to put that stuff in /etc/init.d/rc for
runlevel 0, after the K scripts all run. Also, some of my stuff might
duplicate the stuff you already have in your rc file for runlevel 0.

Last but not least, you might want to add a sync command after
remounting it readionly, and like Didier said, unless you're actually
keeping track of access times, you might want to have noatime in the
remount (and perhaps your /etc/fstab).

If I were going to add a bunch of stuff to my rc file, I'd put the
stuff in a shellscript and simply call the shellscript from the rc
file. This way, when the distro replaces your rc file, you need only to
add a single line.
