defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool TRUE
On tiger, this causes all icons to get a little bit transparent as though they're all hidden.
I think that there is a macosxhints discussion about this that wraps it all up in a nice applescript or automator applet.

You can access them from the Finder too, either with the menu Go->Go
to Folder... or via the keyboard: Cmd-Shift-G. Either way, you can
then type in any directory (such as /bin/) and it will open up a
Finder window for it, whether it is normally visible in the Finder or
not.
If you're already in the Terminal (or other command-line shell), the
command "open [directory]" will open the directory as a folder in the
Finder. So, "open ." will open the current directory, and "open
/usr/local/bin" will open that directory in a Finder window. Of
course, the quotes are just for this email, you don't type them in the
command.
