I did some more poking around and zeroed in on the following in the system log  
snippet:

> com.apple.launchd[1]: System: Looking up service com.apple.metadata.mds
> com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[160]): Mach service 
> lookup: com.apple.metadata.mds

> filter = EVFILT_READ flags = EV_ADD|EV_RECEIPT fflags = 0x0
> distnoted[16]: received_message_from "System Preferences" [A0] post 
> "SpotlightPrefCumulativePrefChangeNotification" "(null)" 

Based on my very limited understanding, it seems the Mach service is the key, 
but I don't know how to simulate what System Preferences is doing.

p.s. is there a better/additional list to ask about this?
