Not exactly hard, though, is it? You could try something like this
(typed in Mail, no error handling, only for illustration purposes):
NSString *errorString = nil;
NSData *plistData = [NSPropertyListSerialization
dataFromPropertyList:aPlist format:NSPropertyListBinaryFormat_v1_0
errorDescription:&errorString];
char *tmpNam = strcpy("/tmp/com.my.app.XXX.plist");
int fd = mkstemps(tmpNam, 6);
NSFileHandle *fh = [[NSFileHandle alloc] initWithFileDescriptor:fd
closeOnDealloc:YES];
[fd writeData:plistData];
[fd release];
free(tmpName);
You could either keep the fd around or hold on to tmpNam if you want
to reference the file later.
