The Security Server used to get the information for the program name in this manner, which created quite an interesting vulnerability since you could get it to display an authorisation dialog with *any* name you wanted in it. I blogged about that particular security hole some time ago:
Drifting far afield from Cocoa... but it seems that there isn't a good Cocoa solution for this. Snow Leopard has a very good audit trail system with a live audit stream /dev/auditpipe. With a little work, this could potentially be used to map process IDs to the disk image they are running.
