Right now I am having my Daemon do a sysctlbyname and setting a value in the KEXT to make it aware that it is running, does this sound like an ok way to do it.

This is done by having the daemon to initiate some kind of communication channel to the KEXT. This way the daemon becomes a kind of client of the KEXT. If there are no communication channel, there is no daemon running.
