I have one of the output pins of a 16F84A hooked up to a transistor

low, my concern is that during power up there might be enough current
to switch the transistor.

does startup take long enough for the relay to respond?
IOW: does that really matter?

Since this is a kit-type project I can not do major modifications, so
is there a simple way to bypass the base for a brief period of time
and only when the signal is high for a longer time will it actually
switch the transistor ?

huh?

a capacitor to ground will slow the response a bit.
