Short answer: Yes.

Can launchd be used to replace any kind of StartupItem?
Apparently, launchd can 'launch' a daemon at startup but:
- it launches only a daemon, it can't load kernel extensions at the
same time (maybe you can launchd a script?)
- there is no dependency mechanism such as "only start when network
is initialized".
Long answer: More or less, yes.
There are some differences from, e.g., SystemStarter. There is no
dependency system as simple as what exists in SystemStarter. But you
can use IPC to have things talk to each other to figure it out.
