At the moment, I am able to boot by command-line.

This is, like, SOOOOOOO undocumented. I had to dig around

~/Library/PreferencePanes/

then down to

~/Library/PreferencePanes/SlimServer.prefPane/Contents/server

and then run

$
~/Library/PreferencePanes/SlimServer.prefPane/Contents/server/slimserver.pl
--daemon

(that's all on one line in case the forum editor turns it into two).

Sooo undocumented. 

So now the server runs. The preference pane that you normally use to
start slimserver (you know, the icon in System Preferences) shows the
server as running and gives me the option to stop it.

I still don't know what is broken, but it's as simple as "clicking on
this button does not produce the desired activation".

Just for a lark, I clicked on "Stop Server" and sure enough, it stopped
it. Then I clicked on "Start Server" again (hoping it'd been a bootstrap
hiccup) but no, it still doesn't work.

I don't know if booting up this way neglects some other startup script
that should be running.

These are the things that keep me from giving a squeezebox to my
friends and relatives. My father would disinherit me if I told him to
play his music by just opening up the terminal and typing

$
~/Library/PreferencePanes/SlimServer.prefPane/Contents/server/slimserver.pl
--daemon

Cheers,

Ariel
