The question
is this: are the CoreFoundation types (CFStringRef, CFArrayRef, etc.) equal
to corresponding FoundationKit types (NSString*, NSArray*, etc.)?

If this is true, then I can safely cast my CFStringRef to a NSString* and
pass it along to the Objective-C/Cocoa portions of my application.

See http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/ ObjC_classic/Classes/NSString.html for information on toll-free bridging between CoreFoundation and Cocoa strings. (The short answer is, "Yes, you can do that.") There is a link in that document that will take you to more information about toll-free bridging in general.
