Here are some files I've been playing with to get hobbit client
launching under OSX 10.5.

/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.xymon.client.plist
/usr/lib/hobbit/client/launchclient.sh

I put hobbitclient into /etc/defaults rather than /etc/default (which
doesn't exist on OSX).

Then you need to load the launchd plist:
$ sudo -s
# launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.xymon.client.plist
# launchctl start com.xymon.client

reboot to be sure to be sure it works on startup.

Still need to get back to completing an OSX package of the client. Maybe
next week...

David.
