Devilspie works nicely for that.

Once installed you will have an .xml file in your home directory.  There
you can define which workspace you want your program to use.  In my case I
have devilspie in my <home>/Desktop/Autostart directory as
"startdevilspie."  Now Firefox is always in Workspace 3, OpenOffice in
Workspace 4 and so on.
