As stated by Jonas, gdb can read dSYM files programatically to use the contents for debugging. There's also libdwarf+dwarfdump -- dwarfdump ships with OSX -- libdwarf provides a non BFD library for parsing dwarf data. The BFD stuff is pretty embedded in gdb so getting library-style access to it would probably require more monkeywrenching than libdwarf -- although vanilla libdwarf might require it's own monkeywrenching to get it to play friendly with macho.

Here's a few URLs that may assist you:

For general dwarf info: http://reality.sgiweb.org/davea/dwarf.html

For writing producer/consumer applications against libdwarf Common Debug Architecture User's Guide

is pretty good although ELF centric. The producer API documentation is more comprehensive than the libdwarf stock docs and was very useful for me.

For source check out: dwarf2read.c in gdb/bfd/

Also check out 'dsymutil' which can extract symbol tables and produce dSYM files
