There is a cron package you can install to manage the firewall's cron jobs and add your own. A little scripting and such could get the rest. Parsing setkey -D and setkey -DP output can be a little tricky, especially trying to match those up with tunnels in the config though. You can refer to the code in the IPsec status page (and dashboard widget) for some pointers or code to reuse.
