I'm very surprised it's not there. It was there automagically in my 
UT2004.ini file. At any rate, it should be under:

[OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice]

Here's what that whole section of my UT2004.ini file looks like:

[OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice]
DetailTextures=True
HighDetailActors=True
SuperHighDetailActors=True
UsePrecaching=True
UseCompressedLightmaps=True
UseTrilinear=True
UseStencil=False
MaxTextureUnits=8
VARSize=64
ReduceMouseLag=True
UseVSync=False
LevelOfAnisotropy=1.000000
DetailTexMipBias=0.000000
DefaultTexMipBias=-0.5
UseVBO=False
UseVSync=False
AppleVA=1
MultisampleBuffers=0
MultisampleSamples=0
MultisampleHint=2
DesiredRefreshRate=0
ForceCompression=False
TerrainLOD=0
SkyboxHack=False
LowQualityTerrain=False
Use16bitTextures=False
Use16bit=False
