You can put "\usepackage{mystyle}" in the Latex preamble
(Edit->Document properties).  

That may not work for files in the current directory, because Ipe runs
Latex somewhere else.  I guess Ipe should add the directory of the
current drawing to the Latex include path.  The trouble is that there
isn't really a good interface for doing that.  I'll have to think
about it.  One alternative approach is to let the user select a style
filename explicitely, and to insert that into the latex source
literally.
