All the frameworks are available to you at boot time. The only
restrictions are that kext's only have CoreFoundation available to them
(if I am wrong.. I am sure that someone will correct me), and that if
there is no-one logged in some members from AppKit might not like the
absence of the WindowServer with this information (don't try and throw
up windows... it is possible but there seems to be some tricks to it).
As a proof of concept: WebObects Server loads at boot time.

Rather than asking it this way... why not ask if someone has
experience using the DO frameworks to do something like you want to do?
You will probably get better resonces.

PS... AppleScripts can run... but they have some restrictions on what
they can do.
