Yes, kernel core dumps work on Intel since around the time of the Mac Pro.

That's the most recent documentation.  It seems a bit dated; I'm
pretty sure it works on Intel machines these days, and has for a
while.

We're in the process of updating TN2118.  The plan is a publish an
interim version, with the Intel information corrected, and then
follow that up with a full revision (probably post-Leopard).
However, for a variety of reasons, both human and technical, the
interim update hasn't made it to the public web site yet.  I expect
that the folks responsible will have that corrected very soon.
As far as launchd integration goes, that info will be in the full
revision.  In the interim, I've pasted a launchd property list file
that you can use on 10.4.x.  Oh, and I fully expect that future
system software will include an appropriate property list by default
(albeit disabled).
Sorry about the delays.  Sometimes it seems like the Technote Gods
are laughing at us )-:
