Mach ports are probably the best way to do this. The "Advanced Mac OS X Programming" book covers them, including how to use them from Cocoa APIs.

(I did this using Unix domain sockets, for PubSub, which initially seemed simpler but got fairly complex due to security issues. The socket actually exists in the filesystem, and you have to be very careful about where to put it, to avoid allowing unauthorized processes to access it.)
