I use ConsoleKit (by way of the Thunar file manager) for this, but I
don't know how it works internally. I would imagine that there is a
ck-* executable which emits USB device discovery/(un)mounting events
to STDOUT and you can read and react to that output accordingly.

Here's the relevant snippet from my .xinitrc:

  # the ck-launch-session is for proper automounting of USB drives
  # see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=84635&p=3
  ck-launch-session wmii

If you can tap into the ConsoleKit event stream, these seem possible to do.
