[NSDate date] returns only the current system time. I would like to access an NTP server such as time.apple.com to obtain the current time. What is the Cocoa way to do this?

Ordinarily, you'd have the system prefs set to synchronize with an NTP server. If you want to do it manually, you can look up the RFC's for the NTP protocol, and use NSStream to talk to the host of your choice.
