As a general C/C++ solution, no.

There is a GCC mechanism that could help:
-finit-priority
__attribute__((init_priority(n)))

Depending on how dependent you like your code on compiler extensions.

I'm not aware if XCode 2.1 / GCC 4.0 on OS X has any particular caveats
other than the usual suspects applicable to all platforms.
