That seems plausible enough; however, what if I want to provide specific
functionality of my application to plugins (such as preference pane plugins,
for example)?

What type of preference pane plugins are you talking about? Not plugins for the System Preferences application in any case, right?


For instance, suppose I was able to implement plugins for each
blogging API and several preference panes (implemented as plugins
themselves) needed access to the currently loaded API plugin. How could I
pass them along to the preference panes? Would I need to create a preference
pane framework that contained what ever headers necessary to provide access
to the blogging API plugins?

Why would a preference plugin need to access any blogging plugin directly? If you can provide a couple of concrete example, I think it would be easier to give good advice.
In the general case I would expect that the application can broker all interaction between your two sets of plugins so that they wouldn't need to have any inter-dependencies.
