One idea would be to create an NSBezierPath with the shape of the chat bubble, once u have it you can use the CTGradient calss's [gradient fillBezierPath] method to fill it with an aqua look.The CTGradient project is here: http://blog.oofn.net/2006/01/15/gradients-in-cocoa/
There's an NSGradient class in 10.5.I haven't tried this, but I don't think a plain gradient would look very good. The iChat balloons are more complicated than that; the artwork was done in Photoshop using some of those fancy layer effects that the Apple HI team can probably do in their sleep.
Once you have a template image like that, it's easy to stretch it to fill the balloon bounds using NSDrawNinePartImage.
