Dillion, check out this link and look at he post eylab started. He gives a good example on setting up the arrival runway.

The first thing i do when nearing the destination airport is to bring up the radio stack and enter the ILS freq for the arrival runway. Don't enter it on the MCP. That one is VOR/DME only.
I tried to enter the freq on the RDO DATA page in the FMC but that doesn't work. After following eylab's example leave the EFIS on HSI MAP Mode. that shows the arrival runway on the ND. If you switch to ILS Mode it shows the track and ILS freq but not the actual runway number. Hope this helps. I tried it in FSX and FS9 and it works.
