You can look at Kismac. They use a driver that puts the cards in monitor mode and sniffs traffic.
Also the FAQ says there's an IORegistry key to get the Apple driver into monitor mode.

I have an interest in learning about wireless network programming, specifically packet sniffing within 802.11.  I have an object oriented background from the Windows world.  Could anyone provide a starting point for reference within the apple developer website?

I'm pretty sure that 802.11-layer snooping, i.e. management/control and 4-address WDS frames, is not supported in Mac OS X 10.4.  I don't know (and couldn't say, even if I did) whether or when it will be supported in the future.  Maybe one of the AirPort engineers can give an unequivocal answer to that.
