You can get it in there with a flush style grease fitting. Another route to go is to use a homemade tool like the one in this Lubing Hubs Through The ABS Hole. It is really a great idea that SpringerPop came up with to do this job. Texas Outlaw fabbed some up for a few guys on here.
The grease is also covered in that post!
I made an adapter based off of the drawing in the above post. Works quite well and allows you to not make a mess. I usually pump a few shots of grease then rotate the hub, then a few more shots. You do not need to "pack it full". The idea is fresh grease in there will help it stay lubricated.
Here are a few shots I took last time I did mine.

Just squirting some grease down the hole with a standard grease fitting worked great for me. I just used my finger to press it down into the hole after a few pumps. Then I rotated the bearing assembly then a few more pumps.
A fitting would be cool or a rubber nozzel type of fitting would be good also but I didn't feel like spending another $5-$10 at Harbor Freight for the set of tips. And I'm not a machinist so I can't make one.
