You need to read Technote 2083 "Daemons and Agents".

Due to the overall architecture of Mac OS X, a daemon cannot display user interface (I'm not sure what a "system tray" is, but I'm darn sure a daemon can't be there :-). Rather, you'll need to split your controlling code into a daemon, which is privileged and starts at boot, and a set of agents, which provide the user interface for the daemon. At that point it's reasonable for the daemon to fork/exec kextload to get the KEXT into the kernel.
