I am not aware of a way to automatically set the trust settings within OS X 
10.4 (Mac said this was a security feature so user had to validate the trust of 
EAP certificates).
Leopard however has been changed so that is something that can somehow be set 
automatically.

On the windows supplicant I am not sure as we use the third party SecureW2, 
even though I know there is a setting under the PEAP settings.
