There should be a choice in the add to panel for the shutdown panel 
icon. I am running rawhide and it is between "Show Desktop" and "sticky 
notes.

As Andreas mentioned, adding a launcher with the poweroff and then 
dragging it to the panel should work as well. poweroff does not require 
you logging in as root.
