sudo is your friend.

alias shutdown	sudo shutdown
with the appropriate entry in /usr/local/etc/sudoers
username hostname = NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown

The Gnome people seem to think GDM is the only way and pulled the handy
shutdown and reboot options from logout when not running GDM and I
suspect that this was to "push' the use of GDM.
