I'm not sure I understand your question. 

Do you want to be able to hit 9 and get a an outside line with dialtone? 
Just add an extension to do that. For isdn you need to enable overlap 
dialing.

Or do you want Asterisk to provide a dialtone after the user have hit 9 as 
the first digit of a number? User the ignorepat option in the dialplan.

Or do you want Asterisk to provide a _different_ dialtone after the user
have hit 9 as the first digit of a number? This may be possible, but I 
think some hack may be needed.
