I haven't done anything and my Bluetooth is gone. Any pointers?
Uh.
Weird.
Call Apple ASAP.
That's normal

That isn't, call Apple, see what they have to say, they might suggest running a hardware diagnostic test, I've never performed one but I think it involves the Leopard disc that came with your Mac.
That's what happened to me. The bluetooth died, it wouldn't show up in system profiler, so I brought it in for service. Apple couldn't fix it, so they replaced the entire machine.
Luckily for me, my original machine was a MacBook Pro Core Duo v1 (early 2006), and they replaced it with the (then) current MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo (early 2008). Nice upgrade. You Mac is practically new, but a replacement may be in the offing. Prepare for that before you bring it in for service.

Something similar happened to me a few weeks ago. My BT prefs pane had disappeared overnight. After a bit of reading, it turned out that all I needed to do was make sure my BT keyboard was turned on and discoverable while my macbook was booting up.
In my panic, I called Apple and was just told to reset the PRAM.

I had to reset the PRAM when my iSight quit working. I decided to give it a try to cure the Bluetooth issue and it worked.
I've gotta keep my eye on this.
