You're misinterpreting "thread-safe"; you can't send messages to an
NSPort on thread A from thread B.  Since each thread is only
manipulating its own NSPort, you're in the clear.

Thanks, but I think you're misinterpreting the example :). The object has a single NSMachPort ivar, added to the some thread's runloop. When a notification arrives on a different thread in processNotification:, it messages the NSMachPort. When the port's delegate receives handleMachMessage: it processes the notification since it's guaranteed to be on the correct thread.
