The longhand way to do it is to open a root Terminal window and type init 0 or shutdown -h now (or something similar -h halts, -r reboots) To get a pointy-clicky way to do this, save that command in a text file and associate it with a root terminal (I dunno how you do that in OS X - do they still have resources and stuff, or is there another way - please don't tell me they've moved to the windows 'what's the file extension' horror) Having said all this, no doubt someone else will come up with a far simpler OS X specific way to do it!
