Mach ports are probably the best way to do this. The "Advanced Mac OS
X Programming" book covers them, including how to use them from Cocoa
APIs.
(I did this using Unix domain sockets, for PubSub, which initially
seemed simpler but got fairly complex due to security issues. The
socket actually exists in the filesystem, and you have to be very
careful about where to put it, to avoid allowing unauthorized
processes to access it.)
