You should use the onRendered callback with a template autorun. Out of the box that doesn't work with 1.0, however there's a trick - you can get the autorun to rerun after a context change by using Template.currentData like this:

  this.autorun(function () {
    var data = Template.currentData();
    // use data with d3 here
  });
});
