One thing you might want to look into is GNUstep Renaissance. It's a
framework from Nicola Pero that lets you build Cocoa or GNUstep
interfaces with XML files using a "layout manager" similar to that used
in Java AWT & Swing.
I just wish it included a Project Builder project; I'm not going to
install and set up gnustep-make just to build Renaissance. It was easy
to create a Project Builder project to generate the framework, though,
by looking at the makefiles.
(Layout managers like those in Renaissance combined with a rule engine
like my BDRuleEngine framework and the NSScriptClassDescription stuff
from Cocoa's AppleScript support make it theoretically possible to
generate human interfaces from arbitrary data models that can then be
tweaked as necessary just by changing rules. Sort of like what Direct
to Web in WebObjects allows. If I had the time, I'd explore this
possibility a whole lot further.)
