I need an OS X tool like the Linux KDM kdesu or Gnome gksudo, which
will ask the user for admin information graphically and then run a
shell command with those permissions.
Is there such a thing for OS X? Basically I want to temporarily
elevate my permissions using a graphical form, like you get in
Installer or Iceberg.
Yes there is. I think you can do this with Authentication Services.
I'm a little short on details, though, as I've never had to do it
myself. You might be better off asking on the Cocoa-dev or Carbon-dev
mailing lists:

You can search the archives first to see if someone's already answered
your question. And if not, you can then add yourself and ask your
question.
