There are multiple ways depending on your need. Generally the System Startup Programming Topics guide will tell you how.

Does your application show a user interface, or is it a background daemon?

Do you need it to start whenever Mac OS X starts, or just when there's a user logged in?

What do you want to happen in the face of fast user switching? One instance of your program for all users, or an instance per user logged in.

Which versions of Mac OS X do you need to support?

If it installs via installer and then runs silently all the time set it to also install a launchagent:
