The source for auval is actually publicly available ;-)
$ cat /usr/bin/auval
#! /bin/sh
if [[ $1 = '-64' ]] ; then
shift
arch -x86_64 /usr/bin/auvaltool "$@"
elif [[ $1 = '-ppc' ]] ; then
shift
arch -ppc /usr/bin/auvaltool "$@"
else
arch -i386 /usr/bin/auvaltool "$@"
fi
The reason why it probably is not public, has already been stated: Apple doesn't want you to code _for_ the tool. And because the tool gets updated sometimes even with software updates, it wouldn't help that much either. On the other hand: for developers there are usually builds of updates available before they ship, so you can at least check ahead of time.

With AUVal changing from OS version to OS version (subsequently breaking developer AUs), it would be nice to know *exactly* what is going on inside. This would help developers not only to make sure their AUs are functioning optimally, but also allow them to tune their AUs so they validate as quickly as possible. From the outside, it doesn't seem like auval should have anything super proprietary going on.
