Don't know how it works on your system, but with my Intel iMac with OS 10.4.11 when ever I close iCal with the quit command (also Cmd Q) and then restart it always restarts with today's date. HOWEVER if I close the iCal window using the <red> close window button at the top left of the window then when I open iCal again from the Dock it opens to the last date viewed. So possibly your solution may be as easy as using CMD Q to shut down iCal when you're done with any modifications to your schedule.
