The conjugate prior of the multinomial distribution is Dirichlet -- it is a distribution over the parameters (the probabilities of outcomes) of the multinomial.

Define

D = Dirichlet(X + 1)

(the 1 represents the non-informative prior belief that all outcomes probability vectors are equiprobable.)

And then integrate over the region of the pdf that you're interested in.

I can expand on this answer if you like.
