You can add webparts by using the SPLimitedWebPartManager and your webPart defininition URL. This example should get you started:

XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(new StringReader(web.GetFileAsString()));

SPLimitedWebPartManager wpm = web.GetLimitedWebPartManager(, Syste.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope.Shared);

WebPart wp = (WebPart) wpm.ImportWebPart(reader, out errMsg);
wp.Title = "My Title for this webpart";

wpm.AddWebPart(wp, , );
wpm.SaveChanges(wp);

After you fill in the blanks this code will put a WebPart on your publishing page. In the end the most important functions are SPLimitedWebPartManager.ImportWebPart and SPLimitedWebPartManager.AddWebPart as you instantiate the WebPart manager for the publishing page.
