So I was wrong in saying it couldn't be done.

In the SlimServer preference pane there are three option for automatic
start, namely "never", "when I log in", and "when system boots" which
is the option you want.

As for doing it with other programs, they mostly will not have this
particular option. You can make a program run when you login, using the
Accounts preference pane.

Because of the Unix underpinnings of OS X, I would guess that it is
possible to do what you want by juggling with Terminal, creating a
shell script, etc, but I don't know how to do it.

Though I still wonder why you want to do this, and whether what you
want could not be as well achieved by another method. Perhaps if you
explain your needs we could come up with an easy solution. One thing
that occurs to me, but might not be what you want, is to set up a user
with automatic login (possibly with restricted access to programs) and
then just set programs to start at login.
