NM exposes a D-Bus interface that can be manipulated through
command-line utilities. There have been a number of them started, but
apparently none really finished. Some control can be done via
dbus-send, or you can use python quite easily.
A command-line utility is definitely something on the todo-list.

nm-system-settings translates system config files and provides those to
NetworkManager. If those files are marked with ONBOOT=yes, then NM will
activate them automatically. If they aren't, some simple python would
allow you to essentially ifup/ifdown those.
I think in the future we do actually want to hook up Fedora's
ifup/ifdown to NM when NM is being used.
