I haven't tried this but I heard that if you boot into OS 9 and set the times for waking and sleeping then boot into OS X those patterns of wake and sleep will be followed. It makes sense, these need to be written into the hardware and should be independent of the OS.
BTW, I heard from Think Secret that support for scheduled sleep and wake will not be included in Jaguar.
I also miss this feature. It's wasteful to have to keep my G4 running all day just so that scheduled operations can be performed.
Back in my iMac days, I'd have the computer wake at 4:30, dial-up and pull my email, and sleep. That chore was done before I came home. Since that time, I've thought of several things that could be done when I'm not there.
I've requested scheduled wake/sleep from Apple, but it appears that this is not a popular feature.

Can't you leave your computer alive 24/24h ?

Oh well.
