I thought there might be, so I dutifully went and dragged the
dock.app into script editor only to get the "This application has no
scripting dictionary" dialog.
Certainly the only way I've ever seen things added to the dock is by
writing to the plist then killing it.
And if you do choose to go that way, don't do what microsoft did with
the installer for MSN Messenger 5 and kill the dock even if you tell
them not to install the dock item.
Take a look at ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Dock.plist and the use
of the command line tool 'defaults' (man defaults for help.)
You also need to restart the dock after you've edited the .plist:
do shell script "killall Dock"
Hope thats a pointer in the right direction :)

You're kidding me. The only way to do this is to write to a
plist? Good Grief! (picture of Charlie Brown with a hand to his
head and a dark squiggle above him).
I guess I'll forget it then. I assumed (wrongly, apparently) that
there was an AppleScript method of adding a program icon to the
dock. Example: You install a new program and ask if the user wants
to add it to the Dock.
