Take a look at this hint on the main OSX Hints site, and the other one it refers to as well, as a place to start.

If you want to mount a volume in AppleScript instead of the Location Files as mentioned above you can create a script using the "mount volume" command. The script can then be saved to the hard drive and put in the Login Items if desired. Here's the format for the script:

mount volume "afp://username:password@server.domain.com/volume"

It also works with the multiple variations: afp:/at/...; smb://... etc.

Here is the mothership's method.

Pretty much, put an alias in Login Items. AFP only.
