You have /etc/crontab, user crons which can be configured via 
crontab(1), and periodic(8) - exactly which you use is up to you I 
guess. I tend to add my own system tasks to the root crontab, or to 
/etc/crontab, but you could add scripts somewhere in 
/usr/local/etc/periodic/

Note that periodic is scheduled from /etc/crontab, and the system 
default settings can be configured from /etc/periodic.conf (overrides to 
/etc/defaults/periodic.conf).

HTH,
Greg.
