Try /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy. We use here at Apple all the time.

... but it won't be available to installations running before 10.5, right?

Systems previous to 10.5 will not have the app installed in that location. That being said we did use PlistBuddy on our 10.4 installers and you might be able to *locate* a copy of it to include and use with your installer. That isn't really a supported use but the choice is yours.

Hmm - just came across "defaults", which exists in Tiger, and does EXACTLY what I want!
