In that case, look at the way AppleScript (and Automator, I assume) do this. If I recall correctly, they create an application, according to the OS's definition, that launches a small interpreter that fires off the AppleScript.
Depending on how much or little you want to include in each small app, you could utilize a framework that is called upon by the tiny interpreter. If all you have is a script, though, you could utilize the shell launch mechanism as an alternative and make sure the file its executable bit set.
