I can't drag Unix Executables to the dock like I can with other executables. Is there another way to put them there?

You can use Platypus http://www.sveinbjorn.org/platypus to build a MacOSX compatable program which calls a bash script/executable.

Platypus is nice. An alternative is to create an Applescript application with a do shell script command.

Here's the relevant apple technote: http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2002/tn2065.html
