Does the OS send out any kind of monitorable event when a file is
modified on disk?
No. You will need to poll the directory. OS X does not support file
system notifications.

(I'm still working on fast, effective sync between a desktop and
laptop, and the best way would be if each machine could keep a current
list of its own modified files. The best way to do that, I think,
would be if the sync program could listen for modified files instead of
searching the entire directory structure every so often.)
Thanks,
