'Go to folder...' (or shift-cmd-G) will also open hidden folders in  
Finder, then I make visible aliases to folders such as /bin or /usr.

For those who insist on GUI access to lots of preferences otherwise  
only accessible through the terminal try TinkerTool from
http://www.bresink.com/osx/0TinkerTool/download.html
and/or OnyX from
http://www.titanium.free.fr.

For a very useful extension to Finder, a better way to get file info  
and to browse invisible files try XRay from
