There's a useful discussion on this topic on the AutoFixture CodePlex site.

I believe my postprocessor Customization linked over there should help you. Example usage:

class AutoControllerDataAttribute : AutoDataAttribute
{  
    public AutoControllerDataAttribute()
        : this( new Fixture() )
    {
    }

    public AutoControllerDataAttribute( IFixture fixture )
        : base( fixture )
    {
        fixture.Customize( new AutoMoqCustomization() );
        fixture.Customize( new ApplyControllerContextCustomization() );
    }

    class ApplyControllerContextCustomization : PostProcessWhereIsACustomization
    {
        public ApplyControllerContextCustomization()
            : base( PostProcess )
        {
        }

        static void PostProcess( Controller controller )
        {
            controller.FakeControllerContext();
            // etc. - add stuff you want to happen after the instance has been created
