My Google search foo is lacking today.

I'm taking on the admin of a server running Mac OS X (10.5.8) so need a
good reference for a fairly well experienced Linux systems admin.

My Linux distributions of choice are CentOS/Scientific Linux/Fedora
(Redhat-ian stuff) with a little Ubuntu/Debian.

The biggest issue right now is the init system. How does Mac OS do it. The Redhat based systems use SysV, init.d, etc. I thought the BSD derivatives used an init.d or rc.d Couldn't figure out how to start/stop/reload a service.

See the launchctl(1), launchd.plist(5), and launchd(8) man pages. OS X has a concept of daemons that are system-wide and/or per-user.
