I think today that would easily be accomplished with an @reboot crontab entry.  Dunno if that was available way back then, but it's certainly supported on Mac OSX now.

Exactly, launchd is the program intended for such use.
A small nitpick at that property list shown in the linked example:
It should be "Apple" now instead of "Apple Computer".
They officially changed the name and all the new developer documentation shows the property lists with "-//Apple/DTD ..."
