If they have a GUI then you can't make the Unix daemons. (Nor would you really want to) If you just don't want certain applications to show up in the Dock, that is a different matter entirely.

Check out Hide From Dock. I've not used it, but I think it will do what you want. There is a way to do this programmatically. However I wouldn't advise doing this unless you know what you are doing.
