Try with:

    /etc/rc.local

for startup and with:

    /etc/rc.shutdown.local

for shutdown.

They seem to be still supported with Leopard.

Of course, some experimentation may be needed, as they are executed 
rather early in the system's initialization or rather late in the 
system's shutdown: one can't blindingly expect every service to be 
available, nor to have much time at disposal (especially for the 
shutdown hook's execution).
