Getting programs to run at startup

This is *not* a question about getting a program to automatically launch when a user logs in. I know how to do this and it isn't what I'm after.

What I am looking for is a way to get programs to run when the computer is booted and no user has logged in yet. I've got a few background programs that I'd like to run regardless of whether there is a user that's currently logged in.

On Linux, it's easy with Sys-V startup scripts. Is there something similar on OS X?
 
Check out /Library/Startup Items and copy one of those, modifying it to start whatever program you want.
