what i had in mind was more along the lines of: is there a way to programmatically create a note and put secure program-specific data within it?

I don't think there's a programmatic API to create secure notes.

However, you may create a password entry, which a random string as the password. Then, you will be able to use this random string as a key for a cryptographic algorithm like 3DES or IDEA (use openssl for that) to store a ciphered version in a regular file. That the solution used by Safari for form auto-completion.
