If I recall correctly I don't believe you would have to modify any program to work with systemd, the only thing you'd have to do is create a unit for it. (Though I could be wrong please correct me if I'm wrong.)_
It is better if programs are willing to log to stdout/stderr, so the output can be captured through systemd's journal process. Apache and Postfix are the two examples I encountered where this seemed impossible. Also, it is better, and this will be a problem familiar to users of DJB's daemontools, if programs have a way of not forking and can simply run without what I know from my old PDP-11 RSTS/e days as "detaching," although systemd is better able to handle programs that do than daemontools is.
