"man 5 fbtab" works on my Mac!

The fbtab idea works great on FreeBSD (thanks!), but isn't available under OS X. Well, at least there is no man page for fbtab.

No, the "unixy" way is to use the appropriate mechanism rather than adding a gross hack at bootup. Solaris, for example, has /etc/logindevperm and BSD-based systems have /etc/fbtab.
"man fbtab" gives you more information.

Well, the 'unixy' way is to set the permissions in a startup script. Don't have access to a Mac (yet :0), but on Linux/Solaris, there are a set of directories (/etc/rc[123456].d or /etc/init/rc[123456].d). Each script beginning with "S" is executed as root in numerical order when the corresponding kernel run-level is entered. Typically the scripts are symlinks to a script in the init directory (typically /etc/init.d). If similar directories exist on OSX (may or may not, since BSD used to use monolithic files...), create a startup script to set the permissions you want.
Step by step:
1) In /etc/init.d, create the file 'SetBPFPerms'. Here is a skeleton:
-------8< Cut Here 8<--------
#!/sbin/sh
#
case "$1" in
'start')
#Place commands to set perms here
;;
'stop')
# Place commands to be executed on shutdown here
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
-------8< Cut Here 8<--------
2) Edit the file to set the permissions as necessary.
3) Assuming you want the permissions set entering run-level two, create symlinks from the proper directories to this file. On Solaris, the commands (as root) would be
ln -s /etc/init.d/InitBPFPerms /etc/rc2.d/S99InitBPFPerms
ln -s /etc/init.d/InitBPFPerms /etc/rc2.d/K99InitBPFPerms
