Thanks for the info, I'm glad I am not nuts for not finding those files. I installed the xymon-client package through Ubuntu's repo via apt-get
and I have it working now.
It is confusing since it uses the old hobbit naming for files. I typically like to get software like this from the author's source (i.e. sourceforge) rather than the distro maintainer since they (Canonical) usually change a lot of things that conflict with the original documentation and file structure.

Seems to be a packaging error in the client-package - it doesn't include
the /etc/init.d/xymon-client script.
The real quick-and-dirty solution (until I figure out the Debian packaging bug) is to fetch the debian/xymon-client.init script from
http://xymon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xymon/branches/4.3.10/debian/xymon-client.init?revision=7121
Copy it to /etc/init.d/xymon-client, then run
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/xymon-client
update-rc.d xymon-client 98 02
