You can "copy tftp run" to bring the file containing the ACL definition 
from a TFTP server.

Similarly, you can push config using "scp file router:running-config"

In both cases the files need to contain valid IOS commands as you would 
type them at the CLI. You also need to be aware that this feature does 
not interact well with things like configuration archive. Finally, be 
aware you will still need to issue a "copy run start" some other way.
