I'm just a .Net rookie, but I think in C# the same thing is just as easy. Still just 3 lines of actual code and just as easy to read. The typical formatting of the curly braces you see most folks using simply spreads it all out into a beautiful piece of C# poetry:

public class myJunk : oldJunk
{
 public myJunk()
 {
   someproperty = "nondefault value";
 }
}

If you like it tighter and ugly, I'm pretty sure you can go with:

public class myJunk : oldJunk
{
 public myJunk() {someproperty = "nondefault value";}
}

.
